My Pet Peeves

I love cupcakes, either the ones I made or the ones made by other bakeries.  However, I do have my pet peeves about eating cupcakes though.  And I would love to share what they are here:

1)  Overly sweet frosting - Need I explain more?!
2)  Too much frosting - I know a lot of bakeries charge close to $4-5 for a piece of this sweet treat.  In order to make their customer to think they spent their money wisely, they just pipe the frosting as tall as they could to make the cupcake looks bigger.  Balance is the key, OK?!
3)  Cupcake got burn on the bottom of the "cupcake top" - and this is one of the main one among all 3.  A lot of bakeries they over pour the batter into the pan.  When the cupcakes baked in the oven, they rise and the "cupcake top" (you know what muffin top is, cupcake top is the same thing) got burnt a little on the side and the bottom.  You might not notice and question what I am talking about, check the pictures below and you will get what I mean (PS. I didn't make the cupcake in the picture=p).

Cupcake top...

...got burnt

Just because...

I made some cupcakes, which inspired by the Beatles' popular love songs "All You Need is Love" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand" for my customer.  Her husband loves the Beatles and she saw the Beatles cupcake toppers I made last year; she immediately fell in love with it.  She once told me she will for sure come to me and order some from me.  She came to me last week and ordered some Beatles to surprise her husband.  She wanted the 4 members of the Beatles and the remaining two cupcakes, she left room for me to put on my own designs.  I figured since she ordered the cupcakes for her love, I made the remaining two with a love message on it. Sometimes we don't need a reason to send something sweet to the one you love, some "just because..." cupcakes are the best!
