A Giant CUPCAKE.......

The second of my three cakes for my little princess. She wanted to call all her school friends , as her parents what more can we do for her but have all her friends at a McDonalds party. I was short of time so ended up making a Quick Giant Cupcake 

School Fundraising : State Election 2015

Did just two dozen simple cupcakes for the state election school fundraising this time. These are few of the shots before they were shipped out :-).

 Fundraising cakes for the School : Election 2013

Cupcakes......Monster High and Colour Riot.

 

I had a really late sleep deprived night but I had decided  that I was going to make these little treats for one my son's lovely classmate who loves monster high ( http://muppyat.blogspot.com.au/2013/09/monster-high-party-pinata-cake.html ) and some for another good friends of ours. Only problem was I was not in a state to try out any elaborate designs, so the design element on these cupcakes are bit on the minimalistic side :-), I hope they enjoyed it in spite of it.

Election Day School Fundraising Cakes.

Since I started my foray into baking, today is the first time my cake is being SOLD , that too not by me (a weird feeling all the same). Not selling any of my creations so far has been by choice.

Donated a chocolate cake and a dozen cupcakes to the school stall that was set up for the Election day today. I wonder how much they will go for.......may be not much since it is not at a cake shop but it will be better than nothing  I guess :-).

Left the top blank so that whoever buys can use it as a celebration cake if they wanted to. The flower on this cake is just a ruffled freestyle.

Lastminute Cupcakes Galore.........

I made 60 cupcakes last Friday....... and only 6 are remaining...

It all started with my sister-in-law's birthday...... I wanted to make something and thought cupcakes ( I had made a cake for her last year), and  there were few other close relatives and friends we needed to visit so I will make some for them too... this was Friday morning and I didn't have some of the stuff so off I went to the shops after dropping off my son at school... made the cupcakes in between looking after the little one,  picking up lunch ( my mother-in-law had lovingly made for me too), making dinner, picking up my son, picking up my hubby. Made the first batch and then it struck 'oh my God some of them won't eat the cupcakes on Friday 'cos it had egg in it'... So made another vegetarian batch. 

All together 60 cupcakes waiting to be decorated and it was already 5:30 pm and had to take some of them by 7pm when we start the visits!!!My head was already on dysfunction mode... I couldn't even think of a proper design to do.  Then I made the executive decision to just decorate 3-4 cupcakes and give the rest as it is without icing ;-). Even that was tedious especially with my hubby breathing down my neck saying "we are late... we are late...if we make an appointment we should go on time etc...." Anyway I managed to get 24 cupcakes to my sis-in-law and

  6 of them to a good friend of ours who are expecting their first baby.

Now Saturday morning  I was so tired , I wanted to get up early  but managed to get up by 8:00am and I had planned to take some cupcakes to a friends morning tea birthday party which started at 10 am. Managed to do 12 of them and ended up going to the party at 11am ( guess what my hubby would have been saying by then?? ;-))

Came back from the party and started decorating some more cupcakes for a dear cousin and his lovely wife who are also expecting their first child. At least I had a bit more time with these ones but still we were late getting there' cos of me ;-).

Next time I have to plan things properly...... no Last Minute anything!!! but I wonder if this will ever happen???? ;-)

Old Hollywood Bachelorette Party Cupcakes

Now I can write about my latest Mystery cupcakes. I wasn't sure whether I could write about it initially because it was a challenge and I wasn't too sure about the rules. Now the results are out and here goes.... This was the first time I have entered a contest of any sort.  These cupcakes was for an inspiration challenge based on a theme and set of colours. 

I didn't end up winning but gained loads of experience doing these. I can also proudly say that I can spot (or have the eye for)  a winning set of cupcakes miles away ???. Out of all the cupcakes there was one lot that I really liked and I actually did comment on it and clicked on the favourite for it ( it didn't win because I did that, It was the editor's choice).... And guess what those cupcakes  ended up winning!!!! WOW not bad huh for a first timer??? CONGRATULATIONS to the Winner of the challenge.
