nearly there

cupcakes again

I have laboured very hard today. I was up at 06h20 with children, and went on to ice cupcakes, make fresh buttercream, and then deliver them to the Fun Day event at the church an hour before.
This evening I have made another two dozen cupcakes, one chocolate cake and coloured one big pot of red buttercream icing. I'm annoyed at myself for losing Janine Rose's buttercream recipe because it was superb, and the stuff I made today is too crystaline (I'm assuming the ratio of icing sugar to butter is too high). Will keep hunting.
Tomorrow I need to turn the chocolate cake into a Spiderman cake, and the cupcakes into red and blue spider-satellite things. I feel tired already, but by this time tomorrow I'll have my feet up.
