BAKING PROJECT

I have to say that I’m not really good at cupcakes decoration. I guess I need more practice to be a pro like some of my blogger friends out there. Anyway, this morning I made cupcakes, using the basic mix. Here’s the recipe again.

3 eggs

1 cup butter (softened)

3/4 cup caster sugar

1/2 cup of milk

1 1/2 cup of self-raising floor (sifted) If you don’t have self-raising, see here for substitute.

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Method

First, preheat oven to 160 C and arrange all the cupcakes paper in the cupcake pan. Beat the eggs lightly, then add butter and sugar. Mix until it turns light and all fluffy. Then add the milk & vanilla alternating with the flour. Beat for a further 2 minutes (do not overbeat). Pour into the cupcake not more than 3/4 full. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

I use this basic mix all the time, just try it with different frosting on top.

Here’s some I made today for my girl, Arissa, to bring to her Sekolah Agama class. This is really mini, I didn’t have the right pan. So I arrange all in the baking tray and it came out with some distorted shapes.. . What is the right way to bake this mini cuppies, can someone help me ?

I sure had fun decorating them :

Ready-packed for Arissa to surprise her classmates.. hopefully it will bring smiles to their faces.

I made double volume and so the rest, I baked in regular size. Added some jelly drops on top. Trying to practice my swirl here..

I like how the yellow icing turn out..this is the tip I used :

Baking cupcakes is so much fun, isn’t it ? No wonder everyone, everywhere is doing it, its one of the simplest bite size dessert to make. I’m just a few cupcakes behind. Time to catch up !
