virgin attempt - birthday cupcakes!

ok, my very first attempt at cupcakes were made in celebration of Mas' birthday (my future sis-in-law) - a complete darling who really deserves the finest of cupcakes on the wonderful occasion of her birth-day! so i made some chocolate chip cupcakes and iced them with vanilla frosting coloured blue (for her favourite colour) and left white. Finally they were decorated with m & m's and hundreds and thousands. I managed to track down this funky gel icing for the writing which ended up looking really good. overall I was pretty happy with the result and they received many 'oohs' and 'ahhs' when they were revealed to the party-goers who joined in surprising Mas on her special day. Of course, this was a real boost to the cupcake ego and naturally has encouraged me to partake in future cupcake endeavours! Stay tuned for more....
