experiments going on... #2

continuing from this post, i've been making more cupcakes. pics below are the testimonials. i still feel i'm not READY yet to market out but i think i'm getting there. currently i have 2 orders, one for kids xmas party and another for an engagement...
i'm kinda getting nervous on the engagement one cause it's an ENGAGEMENT party!! it's supposed to be ONE of the happiest days of your life and i'm sure you would want it to be perfect!.. what i'm worried is the icing... it's not fine enough and not detailed enough... well wish me luck.. and dun worry, i'll definately get some pics taken! :D
to those who have tasted it.. i really appreciate your feedback on the taste and texture and those reading this, let me know what u think bout the designs...
oh.. talking bout designs, i don't know how to make fondant or marzipan and to sculpture it. i believe it takes an artist to sculp something as cute, fine, detailed as cartoon characters, people, animals, and i don't think i wanna go into that... my next after perfecting these cupcakes, i'll move on to pies (dessert pies - either mini or large)... i'll keep you guys updated on that.. but first, need to get as much feedback as possible...
and another headache, i don't know how to price my cupcakes!! i've gotten a "range" of prices but i don't "feel" it... hhahahaha.... anyway, to my friends, enjoy while you can and to my readers, enjoy the pics :D (feel free to email me if u want to order some ya! *wink*)


these are done with royal icing, as i remember, everyone said it was really sweet, cause i cover the whole cupcake with it... design wise, still from the top of my head!

lol, this was a fluke, i was interested in trying out choc ones (my previous attempt failed) and it did sort of came out nicely! i used a good quality brand of choc powder so ya... even the buttercream icing was made out of choc! YES!! (though i did failed in the "leaf" design)

this was me running out of icing ideas, but don't u think simplicity is the best? i distributed all these mini ones to my office ppl... some were hard to please (cause they bake too!)

then i got a new colour - ORANGE!! these cupcakes was JUST cooked, that's why it's "white". i didn't leave it long enough to have the brownish, baked look. though i screwed up abit with this recipie, it came out hardish.. hahaha...
