Last week was a busy week making cupcakes and converting my
Sweet 16 banner (here) into a Sweet Baby Banner (above) and all the other final
touches and plans for my great niece's baby shower!
Originally I had not planned on making cupcakes. Then I
checked on prices; $22 per dozen! I was dumbfounded! I decided to pay to have
the sandwiches made at our Hy-Vee deli (2 dozen sandwiches were slightly more
than a dozen cupcakes!) and make my own cupcakes. My first 3 batches of
cupcakes went without a hitch and were perfect! My white cupcakes were a
nightmare! The cupcakes came up out of the liners and covered the whole pan looking
more like a cake! I reviewed the recipe thinking maybe they were supposed to be
made in the jumbo cupcake pans and noticed that I had "blush" used
too much butter. Okay, no big deal, plenty of time to make another batch! Batch
number two...same result! So, I don't think I will use that recipe again! They
taste great...but I want the tops to be pretty! I had to be creative and use
them after all that trouble, though, so I cut the tops off and frosted over the
rough edges. Not as pretty as the other cupcakes but I am pretty sure that my
48 cupcakes (disaster included) did not cost me as much as it would have to buy
one dozen cupcakes! And, by the way, if anyone has a good recipe for white
cupcakes from scratch; I am looking for one!
