1031 cupcakes and much more
I baked some 1031 cupcakes and more but 1031 were presented the guest in Izzah's wedding yesterday.
The rest of the cuppies were rejected due to their condition.
Hours taken - 39 hours
Oven - 2 (One bake in the middle, the other brown quicker on the bottom!)
I have only one small mixer working.
Manpower - Just me and sometimes my maid Cik Limah who also have some other things to do.
Quite an experience.Will update on my findings!

Another order
I slept at 3.30 am this morning. And I wasn't late for work today :)
It certainly is different when you are doing something you love. I felt fine when I woke up this morning, no dizzines which will usually occured when I sleep late.
I made 1 set (16) of size 8 cupcake for my husband's children and 1 set (25) size 12 for Nani who ordered a week ago.
Some new lesson learnt :
1. Size 12 is big, so make sure the icing is used for them first. I found out that I was out of icing when I did the 16th cuppies! Fondant saved the day!
2. Do the ordered ones first. You will be in trouble if you can't finish them as you promised
3. Cuppies needs extra handling. When traveling, you need to make sure that they were placed on a stable spot. I have to covered them with whatever cloth (clean ones of course) I have to make sure that they are not affected when my car went through the road humps or holes.
Time to get back to work!

Cupcakes
My first cupcake order
Lesson learnt:
1.Sieve your icing sugar before used otherwise you can feel that you are biting sugar when you eat the butter cream.
2. Weigh your cupcake so that each has same size! ( Nigella doesnt have to do this!)
3. One pack of premix (500gm) can produce more than 50 cupcakes size 8.
4. It is not easy to get a nice cupcake box for 25 size 8 cupcakes. You will ended up with plain white box.
5. Mint and chocolate chip doesn't mix!
6.Time taken for my first order is 3 nights from 7-12pm. All together -15 hours. Need to improve on time management!.
7. Using fondant is much easier and neater than butter cream. But sometimes fondant cracked due to room tempreature. Not sure how to deal with it (guess I have to ask my cupcake guru, Lynn Hassan when I meet her), I just cover the cracks with more decoration.
