Yesterday was my newborn's full month celebration. Got it brought forward because the actual day falls on a weekday.
Despite being in confinement which i'm supposed to be fully rested on bed most of the time, i 'keh kiang' - stubbornly insisted on baking some cupcakes to liften up the normal full month party mood :P
Below are some of the cupcakes i made the day before. It was a real hard work. Back breaking one in fact but i think it's pretty worth it. Let's hope that a day's hard and back breaking work will not take a toll on my future's health as what my confinement nanny warned me before i started my 'venture'. In all, i made 60 of them and total hours spent including baking and cooling time -> 3.5 hours! Really not used to decorating / piping yet :P
My 2nd attempt on cupcakes, my first attempt on playing with colour on the icing. What's my cupcakes compare to the professional ones yeah? Anyway..
My cupcakes.. :)
With flash 
Without flashDidn't have the time to really take nice shots because the guests were 'pouring' in by the time i laid these cupcakes out. So, just anyhow snap snap snap 2-3 of it :D
Also realised the swirling design uses an awful lot of cream, goodness me.. so after i swirled 3, i decided to stop doing that design thinking that no one will wanna eat a cupcake with so much cream but boy, was i wrong or what! Lol.
I've got a couple of gfs who love the frosting so much that they suggested next time i should just dump the whole cream on the cakes and also a few uncles and aunties who specially choose the ones with the most cream on it :D
*whack*whack* back bone. Guess it's time to rest..
ps : the swirling design looks like cowdung, no? :PpppPPppppP
pps : maybe it's just me and my lousy piping skills lah yeah? Hehe..

Your frosting not bad mah, I'm sure with each try it will just get better. I'm not one who likes frosted cupcakes, but I could do with one of the 'smiley face' cuppie *wink*
HEhe, i'm not one who usually decorate my cakes because 1-save cost 2- save calories LOL! But i love frostings, yummy one that is :P
My piping skills hor, really lousy. No joke! I didn't even know buttercream will melt after holding it for too long and when the cream gets lesser during piping! That shows how amateur i am ya *blush*
i'm drooling as i look at the pics :p did the girls tell you i helped myself to not 1, but TWO cupcakes? hehe.
