17 eggs, 5 cups of sugar, and 50 cupcakes later.

Baking cupcakes for wesley food fair. Its a first for mass baking, I've never done a so many cupcakes at one go before. It was a much larger project than I had expected. Brownies was the original idea, my aunt finally agreed to cupcakes, she thought they wont sell.

Valrhona dark chocolate cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream. I didnt want to use up my only stock of good quality vanilla beans, so I used one bean plus vanilla paste. The cupcakes were one of the better ones, smbc is really heavenly(:

But mass baking gets me so exhausted though. Carrying trayfuls of cupcakes up and down the hill to my aunts house at midnight, where she was still baking her way to her 50th loaf cake. Loaf cakes must have been much worse, it takes alot of batter and lots of baking time. Haha I got more Valrhona and a huge jar of poppy seeds to last my as a lifetime as a gift.




I lovee the vanilla flecks in the frosting(:


With bittersweet chocolate curls.


Outtakes, the next day.
