Cupcake Trial #1: Gingerbread

Like Miss Earrings, I'm also in the middle of cupcake trials for our DIY cupcake bar. A few weekends ago, my little sister and I got together at our parents home for our first official cupcake trial. We were making gingerbread cupcakes with lemony frosting and here's how it went.

We began with a little booty shaking (it's essential to the cupcake making process).




Then we got a bit more serious.



Unlike the jam making experience, I actually helped this time.



Delicious batter. The nice thing about making vegan desserts is you can eat the batter worry free.



This is the hilarious squirrel that watched our entire baking adventure from the fence. He looked poised to leap through the window any moment. He may have also been sleeping.



Cupcakes just out of the oven and looking a bit droopy. The droopy middles didn't affect their taste at all, but probably wouldn't look the best at the cupcake bar.

Despite their droopy middles, these cupcakes were delicious. They were very moist and full of gingery flavour. However, we decided that ultimately we won't include these cupcakes in the cupcake bar because neither the cupcake or the icing would really go well with other cupcake or icing flavours and therefore they are not good ones to include in a mix and match cupcake bar. Oh well, on to the next trial...
