art, cakes & me: butter cupcakes

hye! n a very good evening to everyone! couple hours ago, i've made butter cupcakes.. it has been ages i didnt do them after i got enrolled to UM for foundation. n im so excited now!! hehe so lets see, what i have done! =D

first of all, i prepared for the ingredients..
we need,

4 eggs (gred A)

290g melted butter

butter cake mixed flour

mixed the flour with the egss n put the eggs into the bowl one-by-one and beat them equally.. after they mix well (took about 3-5 minutes), pour the melted butter into the bowl n mix them well.

after mixed all the ingredients, i divided the batter into 5 bowls/cups

i PLANNED to make RAINBOW CUPCAKES but unfortunately, i have ONLY 3 dyes n 2 emulcos..

emulco doesnt give colour much.. it only make the batter smell n taste nice. but i TOUT i have red and purple maybe.. but the red dye dried out already n I DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT!! haizz.. haha so, i was so desperate, n i used emulcos.. (strawberry n coffee flavoured)

n i poured them layer-by-layer into the paper cups n bake them in the oven for 30-40 minutes. oh ya i forgot! before bake the cake, make sure u PREHEAT the oven for about 15 minutes at 180 degree celcius. =)

decoration will be made after the cakes are fully baked.

DECORATION TIME!!! XD

so, before nak decorate, mesti buat icing!

so how to make icing?

first of all, u must have..

250g butter

250g krimwell

250g icing sugar

3 egg whites

1 tea spoon of vanilla

but i dont want to make much, so i reduced the quantity. i used 140g butter, 140g krimwell, 140g icing sugar n 1 4/5 egg whites and i forgot to put vanilla flavouring but it's okay. =)

by the way, icing is easy to make. first, mix the krimwell n butter in a large bowl and beat them until soft. (better sampai kembang means, butter jd warna putih)

and then, add half of the icing sugar and beat until smooth. Add the remaining icing sugar and continue beating and finally, pour the egg white slowly into the bowl n beat until smooth n creamy.
