Team work on an order!

Me and Daniel were paired together to make cow cupcakes for an order. Now in all honesty, they looked more pigs. When we started, we didn’t have a clue what to make (I didn’t at least), so the internet came in handy for this project. There were so many ideas on Pinterest, I could not decide. So, we came to an agreement to make individual cupcakes and shape their faces with fondant. I made chocolate cupcakes and the frosting while Daniel made the fondant. We made two recipes and died the one a darker brown so that when we put them in the cupcake liners it would give them a marble effect. It didn’t, we spent a long time scooping each batter in intervals and it didn’t even make a difference in the final product. We were disappointed but continued. Daniel made the fondant, cut out each piece, the white circle for the face, the nose, the candy for the eyes, and the ears (which took the longest amount of time because of the way they were shaped). I made a simple butter cream and then we assembled the cow cupcakes, or as Daniel called them cow cakes ;) As we went to assemble the cow cakes we found that they were stuck to the pan! Ugh. They looked ugly but luckily the icing covered most of the mess. The cow’s faces were placed on the cupcakes and with that our cow cupcakes, that looked like pigs, were finished. A lot of work went into these cupcakes, despite mine and Daniels disappointment in them, they lady who ordered them loved them!
