Raisins Cupcakes

"Can u make 6-8 cupcakes with lots of raisins and natural colour icing 4 my boss?"

Got this sms from my auntie while trying to channel all my creative cells for the birthday cake decoration yesterday...

"Can but ltr, tryin to finis w decoratin yr son's bday cake! Yrs 4 Mon rite? Shud b ok"

I never reject my aunt's order - only once but I was really sick that time, took MC for 2 days. The other time aunt's sms read "... life and death..." but since I was half dead myself, I'm sure I was forgiven for causing death...

After I was done with Alex's birthday cake, I took a break before baking more cakes. Sometimes when I bake too much I get very nauseous. Started baking after dinner and was done before midnight, which was quite a good record, I often
bake till 2 o'clock in the morning. Left the decorating till this morning, got up quite early and am done with the decoration. I still have loads of office stuff to do!

Anyways... Due to this last minute order, I had to delay my chocolate cake offers. (Meant to bake chocolate cake to cheer up Hobbes and a treat for little bro.) Sorry guys, but I still have something for you. Yes, you've guessed right, cupcakes, but not these raisin cupcakes (ok, one of them is raisins). I've got a more indulgent version of cupcake and with a slightly more "wicked" version of butter icing... Lets keep that as a surprise and to be told as another story, publish after Tuesday.

Got a missed call and sms from Wookie and need to apologize for my delayed response - I was really busy - Wookie, called just in time to reserve himself some cupcakes (the "surprise version") and since he did remind me of his Queen, I've re-work my allocation list and erm... had to cross out "office" for this round because really not enough cupcakes and also since I didn't make any offer to them yet.

The "instruction" from Wookie on the preparation of his Queen's cupcakes were "make it sweet with loads of icing..." which I straight away suspect that he was trying to sabotage me - this didn't sound quite right... will see... but for you guys - "beginners" should take it "light" for the first time ;)

These cupcakes are sweet enough for my regular food tasters, too sweet for office (for office cannot pipe on the icing, can only smear on a thin layer); and merely ok for my Aunt's group (so need to reduce sweetness of the cupcakes). These cupcakes are always large size so that the amount of cake can be of good proportion with the icing (so the cake will not taste too sweet overall)
