Here is the results:
Then I had to finish making all of the lily's to top them all with. I'm really nervous - mostly about the coconut one...I'm really not a fan of coconut so I'm a terrible judge - I tried one and I thought it was pretty good considering it was a flavor I don't usually go with. Matt is due to get home any minute now and I have a plate of my mini cupcakes for him to taste and judge.
I'm not overly pleased with my Devil's food cupcakes - I'm thinking of perhaps filling them with banana cream before I ice them (the only ones not done tonight). Again I made samples filled and not filled for Matt to taste and let me know what he thinks.
With all of my remaining batter I experimented a little, one of them adding some banana extract (who knew such a lovely thing existed?!) and it was absolutely delish! Best cupcake I've ever tasted. I let Ellie have one (they're so tiny!) and she devoured it! For a kid who hardly eats anything ever, I've never seen her so excited and eat every last crumb like that before! I guess I haven't really let her have sugar before so that probably had something to do with it LOL - but it was such a tiny little cupcake I figured one little treat wouldn't hurt!
Anyways here's a preview of one of the cupcakes for tomorrow
(please ignore the cupcake drizzled stove top in the backround!
It didn't turn out exactly as I'd imagined in my head - the lily is quite huge so it does look a little silly, but I think its just the right amount of silly and am quite pleased - the coconut version I put shredded sweetened coconut on top of the blue icing so you can tell the difference between the two.
I'll post some pictures of them all set up tomorrow. Cross your fingers Matt thinks they're a hit!
Have a delicious day!
