Ladies I need some help/advice please even though I've not been here for a while

I have to do 140 cupcakes for my brothers wedding on Saturday. There's just me doing it so when should i start them? They're all going to be buttercreamed with just silver edible balls on so nothing too major. Although I have to do different flavours

I was thinking late this afternoon cos they have to be taken down to the venue Friday night so they can set them up, I just don't want the buns going hard?!

All help appreciated

Il'd leave it till tomorrow if you possibly can hun, although 140 is a lot to do so understand that you want to get started xx

Cass - did you see my message on your cupcake pic? Wondering how you got that peachy colour? I'm off to the cake shop today

 

[Arlandria]

Ive just seen it now, it was a pink food colouring for buttercream from windsor...meant to be pink but i only put 1-2 drops in and the butter was really yellow so just kinda mixed well

I need a trip there this week too xx

Squidge i would bake them all the day before if you can, that way they are as fresh as possible

 

[Tsia]

i did 36 cupcake 3 days before and i thought they were a little dry but people loved them. I added some oil to the cake mix to keep the moisture as much as possible.. i was travelling 100 miles to deliver them the day befor so thats why.
maybe add some oil to the mix if you start them on the thursday?

 

[Jo]

Oh no Pink, I hope it gets better soon

Squidge they'll be fine a few days in advance if kept in airtight containers

Cassandra thank you for asking about me, I'm doing good thank you, pins come out next week

Oh also I'll add the amazing wedding cake from my cousin in laws wedding lol xxx

 

[suzanne108]

Oh blimmin eck - for some reason the bits of Mars bar have sunk to the bottom and you can't even taste them why????!!

My first go at baking for ages & they've gone wrong lol.

Well, they still taste good - just plain vanilla. They'll have to do! My mum & dad have took LO out especially!

 

[Glitterfairy]

They sunk? Did u push them into the mixture once the mixture was in the cases?
Never had that problem with Mars Bars before but have with rolos LOL

 

[suzanne108]

I just placed them on top but they did squelch into the mixture! Anyway, they taste nice apart from a layer of mars bar stuck to the bottom of the case!!

Good job its only my sister! I still think she'll like them.

I'm pleased with the appearance - will post pics later
