I really should begin trademarking these little cute faces before my brilliantly adorable ideas get stolen *laughs*
These 15 cupcakes had a story behind them...it isn't a funny story; for me at least... because I was part of the story! :P
Here goes...
- Jenny orders cupcakes... sends me a group photo of her group members and says she wanted cupcake faces for all of them.
- I quoted her a price..
- It was confirmed...
- and I began the design..
- I drew a face for every person (well ...so I thought)
- and began planning to bake a batch of 12 cupcakes...(each batch bakes a full tray in the muffin pan....so 1 tray of 12)
- She calls a couple days later and adds one more cupcake to the order...THAT'S 13!!!
- This meant..I had to bake 2 full batches of 24 just for one extra cupcake!
- No worries...the girls and I at home were happy to eat the extra bits... yummy~
- A night before the delivery...I went ahead with frosting them..
- TADAH! 13 beautiful cupcakes!!
- I took a break after I had finished; boxed the cupcakes...and went online..... Jenny gets on MSN;
- She writes me a msg..
"thanks for the 15 cupcakes... eddy will collect them tonight"
- 15?!?!?! Oh My GOD!... it was 3 hours away... and I had only 13 beautiful cupcakes!
- Well I missed out a person in the picture...and I assumed Jenny didn't expect one of herself. *sob* I knew I should have asked in advance... Now all the unfrosted baked goodies have been eaten...and I need to bake another batch asap!...
- Lucky for me... I had another cake order this weekend; and I stole 2 cupcakes full of batter for the round cake I was baking for a sculpted cake! Now we don't have to get fat on the third batch of cake *wink*
- I frosted these last 2 in a hurry~ and they were off!
a hard earned buck...
*laughs*
Nothing but my carelessness to blame.. Some lessons in life; I'll never learn. :'(

Su-Yin, I am yet again blown away by your creativity! I only hope some of it will rub off onto me soon!
Hi Su-Yin ~ Wow! You are very creative and those little cupcake faces are deLight-Full. I discovered your blog just a little while ago but will be checking back as your accounts of your life and baking adventures are lots of fun and very interesting. Thank you! junemoon
The cupcake faces look great.
I know how it feels to be too careless when baking. I've thought about throwing out many a batch of cakes and pastries because I make mistakes and they turn out horribly.
A mistake only teaches you a lesson each time. As long as you don't make the same mistake again, you've gained something from the mistake.
Wow, you are amazing! I can't believe you did so much work for 15 cupcakes!

someone copied ur cupcakes lol
love the cute "face" cupcakes. very talented and there is no end to your creativity. I dont think anonymous is fair to say there is an overkill how can further creative work on the same theme be overkill. This can even be your future signature product.
lolz... patented? dat's an idea. but how about a specialty store that turn people's adorable faces to cupcakes? :)
They are so cute! I wish i can have one of those :) I like the way you did the 'hair' of the faces. It's nice. Keep it up.
These are sooo cute, so delicate...:) Love them!
they are nice, very cute. :) What do you do that makes you so good in cooking, Su?

Hi hi!
I'm a relatively new baker.
Could you kindly enlighten me on how to make the frosting on the cupcakes? What are the ingredients used in these decorations?
Thanks!
