There's always room for more cupcakes!

Today I went to val's house to be her baking assistant. Let me show you some pictures. Haha.

This is a picture of our workstation. It is super messy and we are mega unhygienic. Let me show you how.


For instance, we never wash spoons unless absolutely necessary. It's a waste of water and time. So we just wipe them on paper towels or leave them on a ragged, teared up piece of paper towel, all in a lump. I think thats the best way to get a mix of all flavours. See, you have chocolate, vanilla, banana, jam etc. YUM.


We also decided to cut holes in the cupcakes so that we can fill them with stuff like cream cheese, marshmallows, chocolate and jam. But if you think we were gonna place the little cut up round bits of cupcake on a clean paper towel, you were wrong. Cos we just put them on the workstation table which is already covered with melted chocolate, butter, sugar, flour and god knows what else. Nice?


And we don't really thoroughly wash the whisk. We just sort of rinse it and hope it's devoid of any of the previously whisked ingredient's taste.


That's cream cheese and butter. It is also the same whisk used for the chocolate above. (:


Soon enough, val finally abandoned this whisk cos she could not whisk the icing mix fast enough to make it thicken. She was trying to do it so fast and hard, she was shaking the entire table. I finally convinced her that her forearms will never move as fast as an electric CAKE MIXER.


And thus was born the electric CAKE MIXER. Which made our lives a lot easier.


Calorie-laden icing!


I am working very hard on getting the icing right.


More back-breaking work. All for a little cupcake. The things we do..


Voila!


Our first batch! They all developed a plateau at the top which proved to be very useful for cutting holes in later.

So you can see the jam.


This is val doing something. I can't see.


Smile!


So now that you know how damn unhygienic we are, you can kindly refrain from eating out food. That way, we can have them all to ourselves. Sorry rach, I know you ate it already. Haha.
