Order Up!

Within a few hours of launching our company Facebook page, I received a request for some cupcakes. Needless to say I was over the moon about this. I was also nervous because I wanted them to be perfect. My customer requested six of my Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate/Vanilla Swirl Buttercream. These happen to be my favorite cupcakes. There is just nothing more classic than a good vanilla cupcake. We made the arrangements for pick up and I checked the pantry to make sure I had a sufficient amount of ingredients.

The day came and after dropping off some bagels and doughnuts to school, I came home, took a nap (because Bubble insists I nap daily now), and then woke up to bake away while my awesome husband went to pick up some boxes for transport. It is not every day that my baking endeavors go off without a hitch. Today, however, was one of those days. The cakes rose perfectly, right to the top of the cups. The frosting came out smooth and delicious, and I made just the right amount for the cakes so no ingredients were wasted! The finished product can be seen below and, not to toot my own horn, but my presentation has gotten better since the first time I baked these particular cakes :)

I packed them up in boxes, took a cab downtown, and enjoyed a delicious western breakfast at The First Alleyway while I waited for Emma to come pick up her order. I hope very much that she and her boyfriend are enjoying their cupcakes and cannot wait for her feedback! I could not be any more excited to be putting my full efforts into our business :D
