2.19.12...Boucakes!
Kendra
So, this weekend I had a bit of free time. Well, free time for me begins after 9pm when most of the kids are asleep. I decided to give cupcake bouquets a go, and it was so much fun!! There were definitely a few important lessons learned. #1: Don't handle the clay pot with greasy,buttercreamy icing hands. #2: It's kind of important to mark where each cupcake is going before frosting them all and shoving them in haphazardly. :) #3: Probably a good idea to make sure you have cupcake liners in one uniform color. I wasn't planning on doing cupcakes this weekend, so I didn't make sure I had all of the supplies. I had to dig through my pantry which is why in the pink bouquet (with the greasy pot) you'll see stripes on the cupcakes...oops..these were leftover from valentines. I'm also in search of super strong cupcake liners. It's quite frustrating when the liners buckle when pouring the batter into cupcake pan, and pull away from the cupcake once they're done and out of the pan. Although, after some troubleshooting I think I've found the solution to the liners pulling away problem. I've been taking my cupcakes out of the cupcake tin as soon as I get them out of the oven. Yes, it's quite hot, but I think this keeps the steam from warping the liners which maybe causes them to pull away. I've also been baking them for a bit longer. I think when they're underdone, even a little bit, they're too moist and this causes the liner to pull away as well.
