My day started off healthy. Went for cycling at The Malaysia Agriculture Park, Taman Pertanian. It's been a few weeks since we last went there. The place is great for cycling and jogging. Great air, but these days the weather has been hot as hell! Nowadays even the morning sun burns like the afternoon sun = =. Listening to music when cycling is the best! Cycled for an hour and left, had to send my brother to the bus station.
Had been doing a lotta research on how to make cupcakes and frosting for a few days. Before going to buy the ingredients i double check on the ingredients and instructions again.
I had Joselina accompanying me to buy those ingredients. I asked her about the best place where i could get those stuff. She led me there. Once in the shop i got all excited. The smell in there was great. Got all the ingredients i needed and went home to start the process of making cupcakes!
Okay so i started off making the cake first. It was a total mess. I was so messed up making them! I even forgot to put in the most important ingredient, BUTTER!!! Arghh how could i!? Added butter late so the mixing didn't look good. Anyway Joselina and Aden (on the phone) said once baked it would look fine. Phiewww. I kept referring to the instructions on my lappy while going through the whole process. Joselina was there to watch me. lol. Before i made a mistake she would stop me. Really thank her for being there!♥
Those cupcakes looked so beautiful and smelled so good once they were done! Damn happy about that. I made 14. Thanks to the awesome oven at home.♥ Moved on to making the frosting. I did wrong on the process on which ingredient should go for the mixing first. Gosh. That time Aden got to my house. He said i have to throw away the mixing i did. What a waste. Eventually i did icing for the cakes. I wanted frosting :'(. Anyway, Aden showed me how to ice on one cupcake. Then i continued icing the rest. The icing was white. I iced 4 cupcakes in white. I put violet coloring in the icing and used it for the hearts i put on those white-iced cupcakes. By that time Aden and Joselina had left.
I wasn't satisfied coz i really wanted frosting on my cupcakes. So i went on making frosting referring to my lappy and failed at the first try. I threw the mixing away and tried again. The 2nd time i did it! It looked great! But too sweet! and there was nothing to be done x_x. Then i put the violet frosting in a clean transparent plastic bag, cut a hole and started frosting my cupcakes. I didn't frost well on the first 2 cupcakes. The rest were good. I eventually re-frosted that 2 cupcakes. Everything was fine. I got everything done by 10pm. I spent approximately 4 1/2 hours making them. After that i spent some time washing those utensils too, wasn't easy. X_x
Mommy and brother tasted my cupcakes first. They said the cake tasted good but the frosting was too sweet. Well that was my first time making cupcakes, so it wouldn't be flawless. lol. But i make sure the next time i make cupcakes again i will reduce the sweetness! Pictures below ^^
