Trial Baking

I've recently become a volunteer for a really worthwhile charity, called Shanti International that helps vulnerable people in Asia. There is an clothing event next month, and I have been given the opportunity to have a stall on the day selling cupcakes. Of course all proceeds go to charity. But the thought of the idea of having a stall that is mine, even for a day feels pretty good.

So I've since then been planning what types of cakes to make and how to decorate my stall. Its all under control at the moment and I can clearly envisage it in my head. Just hope the execution of it will be the same.

I did a quick test trial of the cupcakes..

Vanilla cupcake with strawberry flavoured

buttercream, with sugar star

sprinkles

I was pretty happy how these turned out, as I used a different recipe for the buttercream. Think I found the winning recipe!
