Carrot cake catastrophe


Hey guys...don't feel much like putting up a picture of this disaster...I would have had to post the cupcake photos as well, but I so couldn't believe how they came out that I didn't get the camera! Anyway,  I tried to make lemonade from the lemons, but I just got more lemons!!!
It started with me wanting to make carrot cake cupcakes. But I didn't want to make big ones so I filled the small cupcake papers too much and they overflowed in a very nasty looking way. I didn't take a picture then, I decided I would take the rest of my candy melts and make cake balls. Ugh, you know, I should have known, just the name is totally revolting. Cake spheres, cake mounds, cakepops minus the stick...(wow that sounds even worse!!!) Anyway, everything fine, but once I started dipping the cake, I knew this wouldn't be good. I don't like orange candy melt. You see through it, I had to dip them twice, and frankly, because you have to let them dry on a parchment paper, the bottom of them is just ugly. Why I didn't just make cakepops you ask? I had nothing at all left to make any, no sticks, no cute colours. Just leftover orange and brown melts. Anyway, they taste fantastic, but when you are trying to make a business of it, you gotta get the look too. My ego is usually way too big to actually show off such ugliness, but I figured, this is the blog, not the website...if I can write about my disasters, I can also swallow my pride and let you see them. Good night!

    They look fine to me. Plus que fine. Your pictures are so nice that I can't even tell they're a disaster.

    That just proves I am getting better and better at taking pictures!!! But then I wrote this before going on the internet and checking them out, and people are boasting of their gorgeous cakeballs (beurk) and they look horrible...maybe I have higher standards... I think the disaster was more what the cupcakes looked like before I crumbled them, and that I had to double dip all the balls because you could see through them, that the bottoms are a bit off, and that I can't get the balls smooth...mais merci!!!

    Well, let's just say I don't want the pictures to be TOO deceptive. If I arrive at someone's place with 50 cupcakes and they go, what is that!!! Much better on picture!!! Sometimes I actually do think they are better on picture though!!! Arrrrrggggghhhh!!!!!
