Baby Shower Cupcakes....

Last week I got a chance to make these cupcakes for my hubby's friend. Initially I could not decide what type of cupcake should I make for her.. vanilla or chocolate or green tea or etc... at the end my hubby gave me the conclusion why not make chocolate flavor? It's true about one thing that chocolate is acceptable for most of the people!

Thought of chocolate... of course I must bake my favorite Donna Hay "Double Chocolate Cupcake" (recipe is in my previous post). Due to this recipe is flavorful chocolate, I had to make the topping with vanilla buttercream coz it won't give the strong taste than cupcakes furthermore it is easy to keep in room temperature as well. For all these reasons that why I could practice my piping roses skill again. The theme supposed to be pink coz the new mommy has a baby girl and I wanted to make the cupcake topper to suite the theme... that why you can see the cute design cupcake toppers in the photo. Don't you wonder why the toppers was not on top of the cupcakes? Well they're too high and I could not put them in if I wanted to close the box so what I did I just put the toppers once I reached the new mommy's house and gave her. She's very impressive in these little gift especially when she knew that I made everything myself :)
