Earth Day Cupcakes!!!

My new baby arrived just a few days back and boy was I excited!!!!! I wasn't able to do any baking for awhile as my old oven's door had come ajar. As the screws were too rusty, we were unable to change just the door and thus went oven shopping at Courts 2 weeks back. I personally handpicked the new Made in France TECHNO, 7 multi-function oven.

With the same excitement, I started brainstorming on the cupcake to bake in my brand new oven!! Tht's when I recalled the date April 22nd - an annual date dedicated to increase the awareness and appreciation of Earth's natural environment globally. Wala! What would be a better theme then the colour Green to emphasise the efforts to Go Green. It wasn't exactly my inital idea. My idea was to incorporate the drawing of the 4 elements through my frostings on the cupcake. However, as the frosting became abit too runny , it didn't hold my design that well. I guess that is the reason why sme designs are better portrayed through fondant then frosting. Nevermind.... I will definitely execute my idea 1 day!!!! For now, presenting to you, my version of the Earth Day Cupcakes - Devil's Food Cupcake with Vanilla Frosting

Well I'm not very satisfied with the results. SO I definitely have to try this recipe again a other time... And Deepa.. Thanks for being my guinea pig sweetheart.. Hehee!!! Happy Earth Day!!
