HUMBLE BEGINNINGS


Hello people, here we go again with some cupcake release. As I mentioned in the first post, this blog will take you through our cupcake journey and today I wanted to show you a picture of where that journey started.

This was the first baking and decorating process and in haste and excitement of having baked from scratch I didn't even allow the cakes to cool down and I proceeded to top them with vanilla toppings and some sprinkles! Lest I say, I learnt my biggest lesson this day.

We have since then gone from strength to strength and yesterday we had our first professional photoshoot. It was so exciting to see all the provisional ideas and concepts come to light. It was great fun and the shot lasted like 4 hours! Some backstage photos will be posted soon but first I'll bring you more pictures of the journey.

Until next time

HELLO!

Hello people, so here I am with my cupcake blog. What I intend to do is to take you on my baking journey as I explore the art that is behind cupcake making, hoping that along the way we both will learn a lot!

Did you know that prior to me developing this cupcake addiction, I had never even baked before? Well, yes it is true but that has changed now as my kitchen  is now packed with baking paraphenlias!

I overcame my baking ignorance by totally immersing myself (rather too much some may say!) into learning everything I needed to know. To improve myself I challenged myself to bake twice a week! Yes, I did keep it up till about a few weeks ago when I thought that was enough. I felt baking wise, I was doing ok and even decorating wise too. There's still a lot for me to learn, don't get me wrong but I guess it will come in time as I go on, right?

Okay so it has been about 5 months now since I started baking and what I'll do is to upload some pictures from when I started to now so you can see and judge or take note!

So see you soon
Love,
Lolitas
