If you don't know me by now..... you will never never never know me... ooohhh...
OK, you can quit dreaming now.
As I mentioned, it's exciting to finally have a paying customer for my cupcakes (well, if you don't count the ones I sold last Sunday). However, it was a last minute confirmation and I had only 1 day ahead to prepare the order.
Fortunately, my auntie (hah? your aunty if your 1st customer? what a joke!) doesn't really like fancy shcmancy designs and let me have full creative control. Phew, what a relieve. If not, berpeluh jugak.
This time, I opted Red Velvet Cupcake for her daughter Farah's birthday (my cousin lah tu!). I've always wanted to try the popular and classic American favourite, but of course at that time I was quite obsessed with my pursuit of the Great Vanilla Cupcake Experiment, so that plan was always put on hold.
The recipe that I tried wasn't really up to my standard - the batter was too scant and runny, resulting in messy drips on the souffle cups. It didn't rise well too, but the texture was really rich and moist. Lovely red colour, full bodied chocolate flavour (as I used Van Houten chocolate). I will try and look for a better recipe. It's really a shame if I didn't put this flavour in my menu.

Still lots of yumminess in there.

Especially coupled with the cream cheese frosting. To... die... for.

There's always the first Anne and normally the first tu la yang most memorable. You'll do just fine. In fact, you are already in your cruise mode. Don't forget to wave at me when you pass by k.
ReplyDeletehaha, i love the word, cruise mode. Insya-allah, i'm so happy to get great feedback from my aunty, saying that this is the best one she had so far (she has tasted all of my cuppy flavours).
ReplyDeletewiz, you think i can ligan (kejar u issit?) i'm sooo far behind! am oogling at your cakes and thinking i can never come up with those beauties.
