Cupcakes Part II
I baked cupcakes again! On a special request by dear, so that he can bring to school during central marking. He specially make the chocolate frosting, out of his own imagination. However he is quite clumsy in applying it. This time round, I've used 4 types of filling. Peanut butter, nutella, banana and blackberry jam! Oh there's even an exclusive banana chocolate out of the 42 cupcakes we baked today. I wonder who is the lucky one to eat the banana chocolate!

Cupcakes
Excited! Before I finally bought an oven, I already source for cupcake recipes. Finally I settled on one which I found in Jamie Teo's blog and started baking today.
I baked 2 batches. One batch is a disaster, which in fact the amount stated in Jamie Teo's blog is meant for smaller cupcakes, whereas the 2nd batch, I modified a little and it turn out great. Looks like muffin though. I am so proud of my work and Kaiqian just picked 5 home for dessert.
The failure batch, due to frosting.
The 2nd batch, turns out nice and fluffy.
Inside is nutella filling, should add a bit more!

Photographer Selected
Finally, after weeks of searching, we managed to find a photographer we both like and the price is definitely agreeable. Although it is still outside our budget, but we will try to solve it. The most bread and plain water every day, every meal. Hehe, just joking..
As we didn't expect the engagement of the photographer to be so costly, I have to forfeit wearing a Qun Kua on my wedding day, which is equally costly, $560 for a flattering piece. I have to msg Vaught to include a tea dress Qi Pao into our package. As dear says, you still can keep it after the wedding. Most importantly, I can wear it for next year CNY celebrations and Racial Harmony Day.
My next problem is getting a JP. So far I have contacted 4, 3 rejected us. One is kind and friendly, could not help solemnise due to out timing problem. One is bitchy, who took damn long to reply. One says he needs to confirm as I called on a weekend, so later on could not even bother to reply NO through SMS. The other one is still pending for confirmation. Wish me good luck bah, once JP is found, I guess half of my wedding preparations are complete.
