And these were the good looking ones.
No amount of Photoshop is going to make this look like anything other than something pooped on my cupcakes. I obviously need to work on my decorating skills. Or stick to Kara and the other professionals.
On the bright side they tasted…..okay. The cake was decent – used this recipe from Oprah's website. Added twice as much vanilla though. Still they were a bit bland.
The frosting is standard butter roux frosting – one half I added vanilla extract and the other I added orange extract. Then I tried to glam things up with a little orange zest and some grated chocolate.
Oh yeah. That helped.
