Operation Pink - The result

Still upset with the result of these cupcakes, I'm heading to my friend's A house. Thankfully for this Project, I'm not alone. I'm working together with my very good friends A and L, both are experienced in the kitchen :) (In fact, L is a pro chef) hehehe - so I'm in VERY good hands.

Right from when I arrive, still fuming from the cupcake's far from perfect appearance, my two pals knew just how to make me feel better :) "It's ok, we can cover it with buttercream and it won't show" "Hey the cupcake tastes good!" "It's actually a good thing! More place for the sweet stuff!" :D (Love ya gals!) :)

So we made cream cheese frosting to cover up the cupcakes and worked the fondant as best as we can (The fondant is hard to work with too - it's very soft and stretchable - very difficult to work with compared to the ones I used in US) and decorate it as girly as we can to please Pink.

And I think we did a fine job given all the circumstances :) Here's what we did with the 26 cupcakes:

Not bad right??? And the birthday gal, Pink, love our surprise. Heh heh. She was squealing especially when she saw the Hello Kitty cupcakes (Yes, she's a fan) and almost didn't want to eat it. My friend L actually had to smear the kitty face so that we have an excuse to feed her a deformed kitty :D... hahaha... and Pink really like the taste - she said it's the best tasting cupcake (Aww shucks, she's just too nice ;) Here's a close up of the cupcakes:

Special thanks to my awesome buddies A and L, couldn't have done it without you! :)

So all the headaches and the drama and the stress are worth it - once we see how happy Pink is with the surprise and the cupcakes ;)
