on Friday i had the biggest craving for cupcakes.
so i decided to make some.
me: i'm gonna make cupcakes tonight!
pris: but i wanna make cupcakes too..
me: LETS MAKE CUPCAKES!!
quality time for best friends.

the ingredients.. chocolate melts, essences (lemon and vanilla, for the icing), icing sugar, 100s and 1000s (i love sprinkles, i was sooo excited when i bought them.) and heart shaped sprinkles, and a lemon for the rind.. cookbooks, caster sugar, nutmeg, self raising flour, baking soda.

mmmm, cupcakey goodness, i could already taste it in my mouth

first we had to measure out the stuff.. (it's so hard to get a photo of gloria where she isn't ready for it but after a few attempts here's one.)
another candid shot, gloria savouring the taste of our first batch of chocolate cupcakes.
stirring the stuff dubiously.. not sure whether it'd turn out like cupcakes.. we actually used a muffin recipe for this, and we didn't really have all the ingredients, so we improvised.
pris: '...are you sure...'
after more stirring, it began to look quite delectable :D
WOO go us! gooey chocolate batter.
laying out the paper to spoon the batter into..
teamwork!
:D how concentrated does she look!
what it looks like before the oven.. i know, little puddles of liquidey.. poo goodness. it was the high point of my day, seeing so much chocolate.

i was really excited about the first batch too!
'is it done yet..??'
"no, not yet.. still awhile to go.."

*1 min later*
me : "now is it done?? it looks ready.. maybe we should check."
glo : "NO! NOT DONE YET!" >=( lol.

i left the oven alone, and forgot about the cupcakes and so to our dismay this first batch that we pulled out was slightly.. darker than what it was supposed to be.

"nevermind!," gloria said in a sudden burst of inspiration. "let's just put lots of icing on top, and no one will be able to tell!."

i tell you, i got pretty excited, since i was really looking forward to making icing.
but before we started.. we had to work out the measurement conversions.
lol year 12 students we are, and one of them does specialist math.
i almost wanted to just eat that by itself.
i was trying to take a picture of gloria's bum but she found out too quickly.

we started on our second batch of cupcakes - these ones were lemony flavoured.
they also required us to use an electric beater. this stressed out gloria's mum quite abit.

'i'll do it lah!', she cried and bustled over.
YAY :P lol
but by then the novelty of taking photos had worn off, so i didn't have pictures of the lemony cupcakes.
gloria washing. CANDID.
she made me take another one.. u can tell she's photo ready this time.

THE END RESULT:

good memories.. =) hey girls, we should do this baking thing every so often, i had alot of fun last night and it was good to just hang with u guys.. pity em missed out.

at the end of year 12, i think i will look back and remember moments like these. arnold coming in, and us cracking up, and trying to take photos of gloria's bum, gloria chasing me around, teasing pris about songs..
