The cupcakes

Brazilians know how to throw parties and made the cupcakes look amazing!



Karen- a sweet friend-made the fabulous, perfect, wonderful designs for decorating them. It really was the final touch that put them over the top!!!


We made 1000 and it was a few days work!! We made the cupcakes on Friday and Monday we spent frosting and decorating.



I believe this is the first male brazilian to ever help make cupcakes. : ) What a man! I was so grateful for Doug, Queta, Fernando...and a few extra hands! We had 4 recipes and it seemed each time it took a few batches to get the ingredients right, we had to bring in a different oven, and make a few trips to the store buying 20 kilos of sugar; but they must not have been too bad-we had to start protecting them and about 70 just disappeared. Darius wanted to know if it was just like Cupcake Wars--not exactly!
