We've moved!

Hopped over to wordpress. (:

No particular reason why, just think that wordpress is a better blog server. Hahah. And don't have to add the 'dash' in the middle.

see you there!

re: Tagboard

Shall be removing the tagboard soon because I'm kind of put off by people who make very brainless and suggestions that are nowhere near constructive.

If you want to criticise/give comments/feedback, mail them to uglycupcakes@gmail.com instead.

For those who thinks that they got too much cream/too sweet are those who haven't done their research online. Most cupcakes have huge swirls of frosting and are sweet in nature. If not they'll be called muffins.

Oh and nowhere in here I've mentioned that I'm selling my cupcakes, so I don't require a license either. Hahah.

You don't need license if you sell to people you know, go read up more on newspapers will you? Anyway I'm not going to force you to eat if you think its not nice, its a free world. :D

Of cos I know that there are lots more I can improve on, and I will. I will take all the helpful suggestions that my friends gave, at least they don't criticise blindly. I've only started for less than a month anyway.

Not going to waste time replying those people here, hahaha, I rather make more cupcakes!

Made awfully chocolate cupcakes yesterday for my colleagues, shall post up the photos asap. No designs though, was dead tired when I reached home from tuition yesterday.
So, yea, simple chocolate cupcakes! :D

Ugly Matcha Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese frosting!



I love all things green tea, so I went to look up for online recipes with matcha in them. (:
These cupcakes are filled with the refreshing goodness of high quality green tea leaves, and are moist inside! (Even though I kept them in the fridge overnight, heh.)

I thought that the cupcake itself wasn't sweet enough, a little on the bland side.
But with the Matcha cream cheese frosting, they taste real good.

This flavour is definitely one of my personal favourites!
And I eat them without the guilt because they are less sweet. Hahah, not as calorie-loaded as compared to others.

But I still can't do nice swirls! -frustrated-
The swirls I do are not consistent at all, they look different for every cupcake. Hahah, never mind, practice makes perfect!

Won't be coming up with new flavours so soon, I want to attempt the highly challenging macarons next.
They're my current obsession!

White Chocolate and Strawberry Cupcake

With Strawberry Cream Cheese frosting!

They're so nice that I had to force my family to eat them so that I won't polish off the whole batch all by myself. Hahaha!

Due to recent circumstances,

I've took off the price lists. (:

If you have any enquires, either leave a tag with your name or email/msn me at joyce_rocks@hotmail.com.

Non Mihi Solum

Did some very AJ-ish cupcakes today! Hahah.
They will receive them tomorrow.
P C custom ordered for his CG to share. Hope you enjoy them!



Made the words blue and yellow, but I couldn't get the shade of AJ blue. And my chinese wordings are damn ugly.
Oh well, what can you expect, I've got shaky hands. :D

Since I had lots of blue and yellow royal icing left over, I made these:

for Earnest since he ordered half dozen from us. Think he wouldn't mind since he's so pro-AJ. HAHAHA.


The other sister's recess tomorrow. :D
With her favourite butterflies and lots of cute mini hearts. Made them girly, the way she likes it.

I attempted the nutella cupcakes again today, for hj who loves nutella like crazy. (:
I think I did a very good job packaging the cupcakes! Hahaha, it doesn't hurt to be a little ego sometimes. :p



SO PRETTY! :DD
Pardon the lousy photo quality, though.

Anyway! Here're the nutella cupcakes!

They're best eaten straight from the oven. Crisp cupcake top with warm, gooey nutella centre!
I didn't decorate them because I think they look better plain like this.
Decorations are still available on request for these cupcakes, though!

I made extras, bringing them to work tomorrow! Happy. :D

Shall be back soon with matcha/apple pie cupcakes this weekend!

P.S. The super nice boxes are available for one or four cupcakes upon request. I will just charge for the cost price of the boxes. (:

P.P.S All the pink colour decorations are 100% edible. Available in blue, purple, yellow and red as well.
