So i'm gonna tell you about my latest "invention" which are cupcakes! I've started making them since March or April, i don't remember. well anyways the reason i made cupcakes is because of a school occasion, and since i'm part of the committee i have to get some money to run the occasion, and i found one! Baking!
I have never ever ever made or bake a cake or a cupcake or... in fact i've never made anything other than fried rice or instant noodles and scrambled eggs. so i have no experience. at. all. i got interested on baking cupcakes because of the new oven that my mom just bought around the month of february. we never have an oven before. so my mom and i started buying cooking books, and one of them is full of cupcakes recipes, which is "MARTHA STEWART'S: CUPCAKES"
so i was really into the red velvet cupcake, because i've seen the tv show DC cupcakes and it seems like such a hit and best-selling flavor. so i trie to make one with the recipe in this book. and the results are good, for a first-time non-experienced baker. The recipe required some ingredients that aren't available in my country like BUTTERMILK (i replaced it with plain yoghurt) or VEGETABLE OIL (okay this one's not true, i've seen vegetable oils before but it's so expensive because it's imported. i just use cooking oil to replace it).
OVERALL i was happy with the results. so i made red velvet cupcakes about 4 times using this recipe and sell it to my fellow students at school
BUT THENNNN..... I FOUND A BAKER'S BLOG. i totally forgot the name of the blog, because i opened it using my smartphone soo... haha anyway i saw the pictures of the red velvet cupcakes that the owner of the blog took for his baking party, and i was so impressed. i mean the cupcakes are realll big, like big time. about 1/2 the size bigger than mine. and the color looks so good, i just want to eat them just by seeing the photos.
so anyway the writer wrote that she got the recipe from a website called simply recipe or something like that. so i check it out. and she also has some tips on making the cupcakes and i follow them.
THE RESULTS ARE beyond amazing... omagahh it's like a total bake-shop-worthy cupcakes and they tasted better. sorry martha stewart but your recipe kinda didn't work for me, and this free recipe that i got from the internet works better than yours so..
so since then i use that recipe, and the cupcakes are a huge hit. haha, so many people are ordering them. and since then i've become a more experienced baker plus i get some money out of selling those, not to mention the money for the school occasion so it's all worth it.
after that i basically experiment with some other recipes with my mom:
1. Chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow filling!
2. Cookies and Cream Cupcakes
3. Mint-green Cupcakes
thankyou for buying my cupcakes y'all, stay tuned for more flavors. AND IT ONLY COST FOR 10.000 IDR! (about US$1)
BYEEE
