These are really good for a first attempt dearie. Mine was really horrendous looking when I made some years ago. But keep making them nonetheless, you'll perfect the shapes really soon!

Argh! Looking at your photos just made me all hungry again!

Antz, MY GOODNESS. look at that! They look yummy!!

samarie, as always, your food rocks!

can someone tell me what castor sugar is? whats the difference between it and regular sugar? 0_o

hi! castor sugar is superfine sugar. The difference is the size, castor is finer than regular white sugar

[applebaby]

^ I just looked at all the pics; whoa!
They all look so
I wonder if I'll ever be able to make something like that in my lifetime LOl
I'm curious to see all the cupcakes you've ever made ^^;
You&your friend should open up a shop xD woo!
I would rush there during grand opening & get some goodies!

[its ginny XD]

oooo thanks samarie!! so if if you substitute castor sugar with regular sugar, will the out come be totally different? or just a little less good tasting?

oh yes and what is evaporated milk?? im finding all these terms in books i'm trying to make the simple stuff but these words are alien

[redringlets]

samarie: i loved the cake you made for pamela and charmaigne (that's what i want my wedding cake to look like--gawsh so gorgeous) my friend steve (who's 23 btw) would love the spongebob cake you guys made ruby's cake is super cute too~ Sckye's cake is really neato how do you guys make the roses--i've never seen any like that before..how much do you guys charge for the cakes you make? ohhh..btw i'm sarah

[samarie]

applebaby: thanks! i will tell my friend you like the cakes. we just uploaded new pics, check it out

sarah: hi! Lovely name! the flowers on charmaigne's cake are fresh. Others are gumpaste we made.. can pm you sites on decorating if you want, let me know Glad you like the cakes!

its ginny XD: evaporated milk is unsweetened milk made by evaporating some of the water from whole milk, you can easily find it at groceries and there are several brands to choose from like carnation. There's no difference in taste with the regular granulated and castor sugar. The castor is only finer. I read somewhere that "because of its fineness, it dissolves more quickly than regular white sugar, and so is especially useful in meringues and cold liquids". I'm not an expert, just love baking but hope this helps! Goodluck!

Funfetti cupcakes.

I made them for the first time yesterday.

I handed them out to my friends today. Everyone said it was good. During physics, I realized I didn't add eggs into the mix.

My second batch, I made today.


They aren't as colorful today. Probably used all the sprinkles in the batch I made yesterday. But I did remember to add eggs.

[purpledoggy]
