Cupcake hell

It has started.
Well it started yesterday in fact.
I am in cupcake hell.
Why did she agree to do this?

Calm! Lets start at the beginning.

Next week Vicky, poppy and myself are going to Vicky’s nephews naming ceremony. For this do Vicky has agreed to make a cake (Vicky is a great baker, but I’m biased). Which I feel is a fairly simple thing.
No.
Somewhere along the line the cake has turned into a Cupcake cake. So production begun yesterday of 150 cupcakes. 150! In a domestic oven. A small domestic oven.
Now, The problem is (apart from the fact that I become the taste tester whenever Vicky starts cooking, which I don’t mind but it wont be doing my waste line any good), stacking the bloody things without the use of tiers and assorted cake paraphernalia. It’s a logistical nightmare, try it, you will see what I mean, Go on I dare ya’.
Well by the end of yesterday we had made 78 and had only reached 6 layers so tomorrow we have to start making more.

Oh and also transport them 2.5 hrs up the motorway.

And ice them.

And make bizarre marzipan and icing creatures to go on the top.

And remember how we stacked them to get the right tower.

All with a 6 week old baby.

And no sleep.

Isn’t life fun?
