So, for a heartfelt thank-you gift I decided to bake some cupcakes (o^-^o)
Dry ingredients mixed
All ingredients mixed
The first batch that came out burnt...I stupidly thought 350 degrees meant degrees celsius. Vaguely wondered why my (small) oven's limit was only 250 degree c, and proceeded to bake the cupcakes even longer, to make up for the lower temperature... (-_-") I think from that you can surmise just how infrequently I bake.
Second attempt, before they went into the oven
Cupcakes with frosting - the second batch came out fine, so I proceeded to frost them. This was when the icing tip was still working
After two batches the icing tip decided to rebel and I ended up with weird-looking icing (see cupcake on left)
In the end I gave up and just lathered on the icing and smoothed it over with the back of a spoon and planted oreos on top
The baking itself didn't take that long, but the washing up took foreverrr.
Still, it was fun. Provided some late-night stress relief from all the studying and assignment deadlines. I have a mind to make whoppers brownies next. And a whole long to-bake list that is constantly growing...
