Event Baking Day 1

5 hours.....
27 eggs.....
5 blocks of butter.....
1.4kg of flour.....
1.5kg of caster sugar.....
and a bottle of vanilla extract later  .... equals.....



I used a basic cupcake mix, (I've blogged the recipe in a previous entry), which makes 12 cakes per batch. To make the baking process more efficient. I first made sure all butter and eggs were at room temperature, then batches of 2 were weighed and put aside ready for use.

I mixed the batter in batches of 2 and baked every 12 cakes at a time, as unfortunately my oven isnt big enough and I only have one cupcake tray. Nevertheless the whole process actualy went pretty smooth and took quicker than I had anticipated.



All cupcakes are packed away in air tight tuppleware boxes now... ready for Day 2... frosting and decorating!!!....
