Cupcakes
I had to fulfill a cupcake order and after much deliberation, I have decided to stick to fresh whipped cream for the frosting. Initially I did a trial buttercream recipe but it was just too sweet. Then I tried to do a few with royal icing but also didn't really like the outcome. In the end, back to my usual fresh cream frosting. Boring old me, hehehe. Anyway, I think I am not cut out to do cupcakes, my designs sucks.

Hi.. your fresh cream icing is really nice!
How did you manage to evenly baked the cupcake? I mean they raised to the right height. How did u make the fresh cream frosting too?? am thinking of trying it but no idea where to start. I used butter or cream cheese more for my icing tho.
Mind if you could share with me... thanks!
ya, thanks for accommodating, lee lee. it sure helps greatly...get to feast and admire more of your hardwork mah..but hor, after i posted the comment, realised that you have posted the pix in m4m :)
Hi
Your cupcakes actually looked great! :) I just started baking and is rather hopeless with all the frostings and stuff. Could you kindly share how to make fresh cream? I tried dairy whipped cream but did not like the aftertaste. Would appreciate it very much. My email is rei_miyaz@yahoo.com.

Hi Jean, to get even height cupcakes, you will need to know what kind of cupcake or muffin recipe you are using. For the one I was using, it rises a lot so I only need to fill it up to 1/2 cup and bake.
As for fresh cream frosting, you can get a package of non-diary whipping cream to start with. You will just need to whip up the cream to stiff stage where you can make designs with. After whipping up the cream, if you need to get different colours, just scope some whipped cream to a bowl and add colour of your choice. Fill up a pipinig up with the desired nozzle and put the cream in to pipe out patterns of your choice.
Rei, diary whipping cream is not suitable to be used for frosting. You should use non-diary whipping cream or topping cream. Pls see my advice given to Jean on how to make frosting cream.

What are you talking about? Your cupcakes are absolutely gorgeous!!! Love the sweet pastel colours.
If your designs suck, then I think I better find a hole and hide.
Thanks Bernice and kwf.
Esther, I did the cupcakes a day ahead. And the frosting was done in the evening after I came back from work. Managed to finish what I needed around 10+. Very tiring to do individual cupcakes as compared to a big normal cake.
Hi
I think i sound a little dumb.. but do we need to stick the cupcakes in the fridge after its done with the frosting?
i have tried but somehow my cupcakes will become 'hard' and dry whereas the whipped frost stays..
Hi Claudia, if you are using fresh cream for frosting, yes you have to put in the fridge. If you are using sugarpaste, then no need. Thaw the cupcake a little before eating so that the cake won't be so hard.
