cupcake, cupcakes and more MORE cupcakes

Shauns friend Rob got married today. Shaun was one of the groomsmen, the girls were flower girls and I was the cake and cupcake maker. Needless to say its been a busy/stressful few weeks... I made 100 cupcakes (50 red velvet, 50 white almond) and a small wedding cake.
I would like to think of myslef as a baker, but more in the cookie domain. Cupcakes are hard! you have to get them to last and stay fresh, you can't let sprinkles go soggy (lesson learned!) you have to have all sorts of tools. and I am just not the cupcakes biggest fan. One thing they do have going for them, is they are pretty and since they aren't super tempting for me I didn't eat the batter, and i only ate a piece of cake, or frosting, but could usually pawn this off on a neighbor or Shaun. so now my first job is done, and who knows maybe I'll start a cupcake business????
