woo hoo!!!! i love mad things! as y'all can tell, i DID go a little mad... hehe.... spend the whole day yesterday making 112 cupcakes for a friend's daughter's first year birthday. where did the 12 come from? well, her sis has seen the red velvet so often on facebook she HAD to take this chance to order some. hence the 12.
it was fun! i started at 10, but the first batch of ganache was too bitter, i am not going to try new things when i have to sell the next time. thank you chin for the phoon huat choc chips but i still i will stick to nestle or hersheys for my ganache. the first and second batch took me an hour to stir and perfect, off to the fridge it goes. i then set off to make the red velvet cake, the devil's food cake which is now called "the devil amongst us"
just at this point phillie came over to start on the fondant, alas! the woman at phoon huat sold me the wrong one. $6.60 wasted, i am bringing it back to her to make her make the fondant infront of my eyes. she totally wasted our time. we had to run out, halfway through the baking for 2 hours. truth is the going out was a good breather. so off to the bedok phoon hust we go just to find out they have closed down. so everyone, no more phoon huat at bedok. so we had to run to the simei branch, come home, squeeze in dinner and the baking continues.
after perfecting the frosting, hehe... i finally found out how to make them perky, meringue powder and loads of icing sugar, i have to say, after 50 cupcakes, my swirling became effortless and actually became fun! so with phillie making the Ds, some lilacs, blue that turned out green, yellow, ganache and 5 hours later, (mind you with the help of my mother with the individual packing) we were set and ready for collection!
respond? she just text and said the red velvet is so so so so good and that they cannot stop smiling while eating it. yay!!!! the feeling of satisfaction engulfs me.... so off to make somemore fore my nephew and niece. once again, YAY FOR FIRST SALE!!!
