Improve my cupcake icing skills. More specifically, master the freehand icing swirl without the use of a piping bag. Yikes.
Bake vanilla cupcakes:
Check. Greens packet mix. Easy, light and delicious. Plus, no time to make them from scratch when you begin baking day at 6:30pm...
Buttercream icing:
Looking good. Light, fluffy and spreadable. Tasty too - must remember to save some for the cupcakes...
Icing swirls:
Well I think I started to get the hang of it by the end. Piped swirls would definitely look neater, but I do like the feeling of doing this by hand. My goal to "master" this technique was most definitely not achieved, but I think I can get closer with more practice.
The results certainly fell on the scrumdidlyumscious end of the scale of awesomeness. This recipe is definitely a 'repeater', as my friend Kiyomi would say.
Not many photos, as I took them in a rush at 10pm.
(It seemed appropriate that my cupcake apron got to feature in this week's shoot...)
Midnight cupcake. Yums.
Next week:
No idea yet. It's 1am and my brain is already tucked snuggly under the covers. Any suggestions?
THey look yummy! you can make them when I come down next week!!!
