Cupcakes, icing & filing ...oh my!!


So tonight was the big night, making icing and and icing the little cake and 12 cupcakes.... so first I decided to fill the cupcakes. Chocolate pudding Yum!!

Time to make the icing... Shortening, check. No Color Vanilla, check. Meringue Powder, check. Water, check. Lots of Powdered Sugar, check. Sifted, check check.  I did a pretty good job of not making a complete mess.

The final products for round one....

Cake: Yellow cake with Raspberry filling and White Buttercream icing
Cupcakes: Yellow Cake with Chocolate Filling and White Buttercream icing


They are not perfect but I think they look pretty good for my first little projects on my own.

Things I have learn from this first experience... don't over fill the cupcake pan, or the cake pan for that matter and take it all one step at a time. I think next time I will bake the cake one night, make icing the next, and ice and decorate the next night.
