Cuppy Cakes...

It has been ages since I last updated my blog. I just didn't have anything to write about (actually I did but never came around to do so...hahaha). Anyways, life is good. Am heading to Penang in a couple of hours (yay! food!) so I am pretty excited about that. Still searching for my 'dream' job (where is my fairy godmother??). Been applying to lots of potential places. Hopefully I'll get some calls soon (hoping and wishing real hard).

I've always been curious as to how some people come up with great looking cup cakes. So on Thursday after yet another fun filled day (not :P) I decided to bake. Baking the cup cakes were not hard but I've always wanted to see whether I could actually decorate the cup cakes and actually turn out good. So I googled how to decorate cup cakes and discovered that the secret to all those pretty looking cup cakes is fondant icing (a.k.a. baker's playdoh). Aaaaah... I was so glad I finally discovered that. Yay! So I read a couple of websites and after about 1/2 hour I pretty much knew what to do. So off I went to the store to get all my baking needs. It was fun baking again (not that I was much of a baker to begin with). I always find cooking/baking very therapeutic and fun.

After baking the cupcakes came the fun part of decorating them. It was kinda nerve wrecking because I did not know what to expect and whether I would succeed or fail miserably. Mama was in the kitchen while I was starting the process of decorating and was intrigued by the whole thing. Initially she just wanted to see how it was done but then ended up decorating all the cupcakes with me. I must admit it was tons of fun especially to have mama do it with me. She enjoyed it too! Here are some pictures of our masterpiece! hehehhe... Doesn't taste too bad too.. Yay...Mission accomplished...

Opppsss...Just realized that my cousin is sleeping my room. My camera's in there. Guess I'd have to load the picture tomorrow ;)
