My First Big Cupcake Order!

LAST WEEK I received my first big cupcake order! My son's preschool teacher gave my name to one of her friends who needed cupcakes for her daughter's graduation party. She was going to make them herself but ran out of time.

Her daughter was using six neon colors to decorate for her party, so mom requested 15 cupcakes of each of the neon colors. Luckily I was also working on the mini cupcakes (posted below) so I was able to get a number other than by the dozen (note to self-orders need to be by the dozen from now on!)

After several screw ups (batter didn't mix right, forgot an ingredient, and over filled the liners) everything went smoothly. I don't know that I want to accept too many large orders during the school year though. I started on Friday evening after my kids went to bed (we even went out for dinner so I wouldn't have to clean before I started) and I still didn't finish until 4 a.m. (that included the 4 dozen mini cupcakes). I figured had I not screwed up, I probably would've finished between 2-2:30.

Anyway, I still enjoyed making these cupcakes and I like how they turned out. I LOVE the colors. I sure hope the graduate and her guests enjoyed the cupcakes as well!
