54 Cupcakes!

Yesterday, my mum asked me if I wanted to bake because it has been awhile since I last did any. Plus, I had the ingredients already, so, why not? I took this chance to try two new recipes --> Apple Raisins and Banana Chocolate Chip. I also made some Lemon Raisins and Butter Raisins. If you're wondering why there are so many raisins, it's because my family (more specifically, my mum) prefers raisins over chocolate chips.

All together, I made 54 cupcakes in about 3 1/2 hours. I work slow although I have the mixer. Some of the cupcakes are for friends, housemates, family and myself.

Since my mum didn't like to have a topping, I made a small amount of chocolate buttercream to go with the banana chocolate chips. Previously, my friends told me that it was too sweet because of the amount of icing. So, I've pretty much reduced them by half. I think it's still going to be sweet.

..Banana chocolate chips with chocolate buttercream..

My sis-in-law helped me with the decorations. :) I thought it turned out pretty alright.

The ones on the left are Apple Raisins while the one on the right are Lemon Raisins. If you see carefully, on the last row, third from the left, there is a slightly darker coloured cupcake and that's the banana chocolate chip without the icing.

My brother took a panaromic view of the cupcakes..

..I kind of adore the hearts. ;)..

So... the apple raisins didn't turn out as nice as I thought it would be but the banana chocolate chip did. :) If you were counting the cupcakes in the picture, you wouldn't get 54 because my brother didn't take pictures of the Butter raisins. heh.

Alright, time to go to Klang.
