After ten hours of solid baking and nearly five hours of frosting, I had 10 dozen large and 200 baby cupcakes ready to be sold. My friend Lisa and I schlepped around the hospital we work in, doing the hard sell while wearing RSPCA Cupcake Cook sticker-badges. It took us four hours but we sold every last cupcake and raised over $350 in the process. It would have been closer to $500 if my vanilla cupcakes had been less dodgy - the batter looked wrong somehow and they weren't as light or soft as I would have like them to be, so I sold them at half price. That'll teach me to try a new recipe under pressure to perform. I got to make my delicious peanut butter frosting again, one of my favourite flavours (and when I make it, my friends colleagues always ask for the recipe).

Once I've found my media card reader, I'll upload a couple of pics from the day. There were only a few taken because it was such a mad rush to get them out the door and on sale. I'll have to tantalise with a list of flavours.
