A couple weeks ago, I told you about the budding business idea Aa and I were hatching about a bakery. Well, I had my first order, to rave reviews (I really do think they were the best cupcakes I've ever made). My friend V ordered a dozen cupcakes as a birthday gift for our friend T. The party's theme was Black and White, so I went with dark chocolate cake with both dark chocolate (dyed black) and white "World's Best" frosting. I had some caramel frosting lying around, so for a special surprise, I injected some into the middle of each cake. Wow! I tell you, those were some mighty special cupcakes!

Here's the dozen I wound up giving V and T.

This is my favorite one. After the photo, I went in with a toothpick and removed the errant nonpareils. The "T" is made of chocolate. Mmmm.

All packaged up and ready to go!

And, since you can't see the label really well, here's another bad picture of it! ;) The symbol taking the place of the "o" in Hope is a West African symbol of hope.

So, if you or anyone you know are in need of a cake or cupcakes, please let me know!
