Cupcakes Galore!



This is the 3rd cooking class Valerie has attend with Genius R Us. We had a really small class today, just us with Yvonne & Lionel. This class is slightly different from the cookie one I've attended with Valerie in the sense we have to weigh & measure our ingredients.

Valerie was excited at cracking the egg so I let her do the 1st one. Instead of cracking the egg, she went to crush the egg, splashing the egg whites all over the place! After that we proceeded to weigh the flour while Lionel weigh the sugar.

When it's time to mix the ingredients, Valerie wasn't interested coz she's afraid of the vibration from the mixer. Lionel was steady, holding onto it (with Yvonne) thru'out while Valerie went 'wild' running around *OMG*

Mid way thru the class, Yvonne & Lionel had to leave due to some urgent matters at home. So HB sat in to let decorate the cupcakes. Our cupcakes didn't turn out as well. The centre sank almost immediately after they were taken out from the oven. Violet explained that's because we mixed in too much air during the mixing step. *oops*

Valerie wasn't keen on anything until it's time to decorate the cupcakes. She was so excited with it that she kept holding onto the pipe and tell us pass her the cupcakes. I actually didn't realise that it's so difficult to do pipping! Violet did it with so much ease while HB & I struggled badly :p

Can you tell which one is done by Violet?
