Better than the best cupcake

Sheng came over to my house today and we decided to bake cupcakes. 

Oreo cupcakes with Buttercream frosting, to be specific. 

Everything went pretty good actually. (Take note that when I say everything, I'm not including the cupcakes)

It was really no sweat for me because Sheng did all the tough beating and creaming 

It got so tough at one point of time he was just singing The Scientist by Coldplay. 

Can we all just take a moment to imagine him beating the cream like a madman with his puffy hair flopping all around while he belts out "Nooooobody saaaaid it was eeeeasssehhhh"

The cupcakes came out tasting like crap, honestly. I've thought about what could've gone wrong and I realised that maybe it could be because we bought unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the sweetened one. Heh. 

The making of the cupcakes weren't so messy but when it came to the frosting... That's another story. 

First, after mixing the butter and sugar I accidentally pressed the mix button when the mixer wasn't in the bowl and IT WENT CRAZY AND STARTED SPEWING BUTTER EVERYWHERE. 

(Did I ever mention that I hate the smell of butter so so so much?)

Everything just went downhill after that.

Our frosting which was fluffy at first became all grainy 

(I swear things only started to become grainy when I passed the hand mixer to sheng) 

(Not that it's totally his fault) 

(Though mostly it is)

And the butter just started appearing in the bowl and it sort of looked like a swamp 

Look. LOOK. At the frosting. My goodness. 

We tried to use it anyway, the professional way where we scooped it and put it in a bag to squeeze 

And this is what we got 

Yup. Intestines on a cupcake. 

We'd do a fantastic job for making Hallowen cupcakes. 

I can't believe we were even talking about opening a SugarRuins Bakery (actually we were going to name Weechel or KingsOfRush but SugarRuins sounded better in the end) the only people who'll buy our cakes would be the producers for Fear Factor. 

We tried to make things better though, by using a different frosting method

Looks less poisonous now doesn't it. 

In the end we just smooshed the rest of the batter to make giant slabs of (hopefully edible) biscuits.

Yup. 

This is a definitely a shame to my A* baking history. 

I regeret nothing though, because I had my favourite person right next to me all through this (toxic production) baking experience, and it was nice to have someone to help me with the cleaning up hehe :] thanks Gaysheng. 

Don't know what I'd ever do without you
