100+ cupcakes for the big 3-0

17 Jan

I baked approximately 120 mini cupcakes in two main cake flavors: vanilla (a new recipe I was trying out from Glorious Treats) and chocolate. I added variety with the frostings and served the following:

Vanilla cake with salted caramel buttercream
Chocolate cake with pumpkin mousse filling and vanilla buttercream
Tiramisu: vanilla cake bathed in homemade coffee liqueur, topped with coffee mascarpone frosting
Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream
Vanilla cake with chocolate whiskey buttercream
Chocolate cake with chocolate whiskey buttercream

Everyone seemed to love the cupcakes and the rest of the food and beer, so it was a successful party. Now I have to dig myself out from a weekend of revelry and get back to baking (as well as fuss with the blog template some more…Wordpress themes and Gigya are giving me a headache!)
