Cupcakes

As I walked into the store today, I glanced over to the display case, and there were barely any cupcakes. I was so excited, because I knew that meant that we would have to decorate them. Chloe, another worker, and I all teamed up to make more cupcakes. I thought now I can help with the whole decorating process, icing and all. After we made a list of all the cupcakes we needed to decorate and how many of each to make (there was twenty-seven total!), I gathered all the cupcakes together, and we began. Some cupcakes are very simple, just ice and that’s it. Some have to be iced and decorated with sprinkles and candy. Others have to be filled, iced, and decorated. Each type of cupcake has its designated decoration, so we had to make sure we were decorating it properly and not just to make it look nice (although that is very important). For example, a yellow with raspberry has the buttercream icing and red sprinkles; a boston crème has chocolate ganache and multicolored sprinkles; a banana with peanut butter has buttercream icing, brown sprinkles, and a banana-shaped candy; a red velvet cupcake has white chocolate cream cheese frosting; and a chocolate cupcake has buttercream icing.
