cupcakes gone wrong

12 March 2006, 20:50

i planned all week to make cupcakes. beautiful baby cupcakes wth pink frosting from my new (but old) cookbook Cupcakes by Elinor Klivans. i followed the recipe carefully, double checking all the amounts of the ingredients, doing everything to the damn letter only to bite into one (minus the icing) and scream OH MY GOD WHY THE HELL IS IT SO SWEET?! i cant figure it out! and theyre all dimply! why for petes sake is it dimply??? it produced a nice sweet crust on top which wouldve been good if i wanted a MUFFIN but nooo it was like all the sugar quadrupled just to mock me. MOCK ME I SAY! the amounts were in cups not by weight so realli nothing shldve gone wrong! grrr bleh think next time ill stick to my normal never-ever-fail cupcake recipe even tho the fotos in that book were soooo preetty… its strange tho, i shoved in bits of max brenna chocolate into some of them and they were less sweet… the others, i thought well i couldnt possibly make it worse so i found the cream cheese buttercream icing recipe in the book and coloured it pink and swirled a bit on the cupcakes to produce: A MUCH SWEETER CUPCAKE

  3. noods: thats becos you are developing a sweet tooth! drink water!!!

    amie: hehe it was soft but sooo sweet eeee my teeth! the paper i erm borrowed from work… they come pre folded and they come out like those cakes from chinese bakery. i reckon cupcake is smaller than muffin and involves icing…
