I've seen lots of beautiful cupcake bouquets on the net and I was inspired to make one too. But one thing about bouquet is u can never make one for yourself. It's like buying yourself a bouquet of red roses. No offense but who on earth does that?
I made Devil's Food Cake for the cupcake. I found the recipe on the net and the recipe requires mayonnaise. It was so peculiar that I just have to give it a try! I was contemplating a very moist, sinful and rich devil's food cake just as it always turn out using my mom recipe but this one doesn't reach the dfc standard. Therefore, I don't feel like sharing the recipe here.
However, the frosting was amazing! I got the recipe from our 1st Blogger Masterchef, Wendy. You should really check out her post on this because I just couldn't agree more with her. Swiss Meringue Buttercream is soooo good. The texture is silky smooth and it holds up the rose shape very well. In my case, I made strawberry SMB. and guess what? no food colouring needed, no food extract needed and the best part is, the out come is soo good u can actually taste the fresh strawberry even with only 1 tsp of pureed strawberry! I can guarantee this because I also made the usual strawberry buttercream just to see the difference.*I'll post more on this in a new post* Thank you Wendy for the recipe. Wendy's post was made way back in 2010 btw..hehe..
