Another CupCake Success Story

I have been a huge fan of D C Cupcakes. Used to air on TLC channel and I really hope they come up with another season :D I'd say Sophie and Katherine have somewhat provided me with the initial nudge through their show to start on my cupcake baking experiments. Hence, their success story needs to be mentioned while I am at it.

As posted before, I am reading up a lot about cupcake success stories and I am seriously thinking about starting the series ;)... So here is the Success Story of DC CUPCAKES.

Cupcake Success Stories

Cupcakes saved my home! How I cooked up a plan to bake my family out of bankruptcy

That's not about me. It is an article I read recently about how Antonia Kime managed to turn around a disaster about to befall her family with Cupcakes. It is an inspiring article for me as I see myself in some aspects of the article. Maybe I should start a series of cupcake success posts here... Hmmm lemme think about it and do some research for that, yeah!

I started baking as a hobby and was only too comfortable baking for my relatives till I decided just recently that I need a bigger platform. I just love the comments from those who love my cupcakes. The feeling is just too good to be contained within the confines of four walls. And, if more people get the kick out of licking the butter cream off the cupcakes and indulging in life's littlest sin, what gives!   

Actually this wave of cupcakes is like never ending. It has been around for years now and yet what you could do with a simple recipe with a cupcake is tremendous. New flavors, new frosting, new designs yet the same feeling of happiness when you gorge on a cupcake.  

Yummm......

To all those who love baking... don't stop coz you are making those who love your cakes happy :D

Cake Pops and Cake Bites

Have been lazy for a while since my last post largely because of my health. The weather is such and I have been having on and off fever, sore throat and what not. However, I have been experimenting with cakes as well. I tried out cake pops and cake bites with my usual cake and cup cake recipes.

Cake Bites are cute miniature cakes that are presented as bite sized pieces. Actually I was so in love with this idea that I wanted to try it out and I did. I made vanilla cake, butter cream frosting and melted some chocolate. With some colored sugar sprinkles and sugar pearls, I was good to go.

Look at what I made.

Fresh out of oven. The same cake recipe but made two versions; 1 - mini cupcakes, 2 - Cake Bites.

Oh! It can get messy when the bites are so small to work with!

I wanted a more uniform drips around the cake but they do look pretty yummy this way too. I guess imperfections have their own beauty as well
