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.

Doorgift for wedding, the icing melted isk!
Quite an experience.Will update on my findings!
Cudn't find time to take pic of what I baked, I managed to get this from the wedding pics- the guest table. Talk about the long hours I did to decorate the cuppies, they end up like this huhu!

Plans for wedding door gift

I have like a week more to go to start working on wedding door gift for Izzah.
This is my first time and it is already challenging in mind. 1020 cupcakes to be ready by 19 November 2010.
I can't do it early and I will be very kelam kabut if I do it late.I have to plan my time very carefully.
This is challenging, I love challenge....
Can I make it, or will it be a disaster?
One thing for sure, I am not willing to spoil Izzah's wedding!
Something which look a bit like this...
Not sure whether I should use fondant or butter cream.
Fondant:
1. looks neat
2.do not smudge
3.can be design in many ways like the one you see on top.

BUT
1. under heat it will start to become oily
2.it doesn't taste nice- too sweet
3. it's expensive


Buttercream
1. taste nicer
2.cheaper


BUT
1. smudge
2.have to seive icing sugar several times to get a good smooth result otherwise you can feel it on your teeth.
