cupcakes for change has been going extremely well and requiring days of mass baking in the house. we usually bake, stuff and box for 6hours and make about 200 cupcakes. on baking days, our entire kitchen is covered with cupcakes. behind the milk, by the rice cooker, if there's a 2"x2" of free space, it will soon be occupied by a cupcake!
thanks to CT, and my quality assurance girls who constantly taste the cupcakes to make sure they're of utmost quality. they eat the ones that are too big, crooked, not red enough, or have too much icing =P also thanks to jef and MW, there's no one better than engineers to make my boxes.
cupcakes are getting better and better by the batch. last week, i made the BEST batch ever! they were so red and moist, and the icing was mixed to perfection. finally. now is the best time to order! we're also getting more creative with the designs: swirls, hearts, and springtime butterflies.
i gave up cupcakes and chocolate until Easter, and despite the hundreds of cupcakes i've baked, it was never too difficult until charlene made her vanilla cupcakes with a chocolate and condensed milk icing :O mMmm they looked AMAZING!
above fundraising, my baking skills have gone from amateur to expert (my very first batch in february produced brown cupcakes...not red) and i've also been able to reconnect with old friends. thanks everyone :) for anyone back home, i'll bake when i get home, i promise.
for anyone in waterloo, order now or forever hold your peace. i will take exam time orders if you tell me now. they're a great way to keep your sugar levels up.
