I made the lemon ones and decided to decorate them simply with a little purple heart, thinking I would unleash the fire work designs on the chocolate ones....... I didnt realise I had forgotten to buy another pack of eggs and some chocolate for them :( It was getting dark by the time it dawned on me that I wasn't prepared I didnt have the car last night and I was too scared to walk to the dairy .... (its hard being a girl)
So chocolate cupcakes were a no go.... I was going to put flat chocolate buttercream on then pipe on little red rockets and tnt barrels with little star decorations coming out .... like the sparks or whatever you would call them?!
Its so frustrating not having the right ingrediants!! Oh well the lemon ones turned out great and they taste amazing, I tried my first batch of lemon icing! I made normal buttercream and then added lemon juice from a fresh lemon, I was suprised as to how much it needed to give it flavour and ended up squeezing over half a lemon in there?!?!
The not so fireworks themed cupcakes...
AND in other news I made my own focaccia bread and then baked with olives, feta and balsamic carmalized onions (pretty wanky :P ) Bread is the sort of thing that I stress about before baking as its such a gamble in my mind and not to mention I had lost the last page of the photocopied recipe so didnt know how long to let it stand etc etc Anyway in the end it turned out well, it looks ok and hopefully will taste great?! Note for next time though, more toppings and less baking time... it looks a bit brown....
Here are the pics of before and after :>
As mentioned I have applied to have a table at kraft bomb but in the mean time I decided to take matters into my own hands and research Auckland markets! There is on at Alexandra raceway, sort of a farmers market deal, I gave them a ring and asked if there would be interested in cupcakes and they said yes! So just deciding on the final details (selling date, money :/ etc etc) but will let you know if it ends up happening! ALSO I was thinking I might need some business cards just incase I start a stall or just for general use... I didnt want to spend heaps designing one so just ordered some basic AS ones online but they were super cheap and hopefully will do the job....
Here's a preview... fits in with the whole owl blog theme hehe
Thats all for now <3
