Cupcakes for Bang Alan

These cupcakes are for Bang Alan's bday, ordered by his wifey, Iin..

chocolate cupcakes

i previously met up with Iin for a tester, she mentioned she wanted to order for her husband's bday..
She asked if i have lemon cupcakes and at that time i didn't but i remember this one recipe..
So i searched for it and try making a batch..
Then i brought it as a tester and she loved it, she said "people will like this flavor trust me"
Thanks to her i found a new flavor: LEMON CUPCAKES :)
Iin ordered 2 dozen of chocolate cupcakes, 1 dozen of vanilla cupcakes and 1 dozen of lemon cupcakes..

bonus: 4 lemon cupcakes

since it's a quite a big order *for a beginner bakul kue* i accepted deliveries..
we planned for 10 o'clock-ish, then sudden rain and i didn't really know the mega kuningan area, plus parking the car, checking for ID entering the building..
i finally got to his office at 11 o'clock, i was so ready to be yelled at by bang Alan..
huuuuuu..


lemon cupcakes

plus to make matter things worse, when i checked my cupcakes..
THE LEMON CUPCAKES GOT RUINED :'(
i was shaking, so mad at myself, i mean how could have this happened?
the white paper that was suppose to hold these cupcakes somehow rode up during the car ride and killed the frosting..
but i'm glad it was only the lemon cupcakes, the other 3 dozens were fine *phew*
but i felt guilty as guilty as a convict can be..


vanilla cupcakes

i set up the cupcakes into the pantry with the help of mbak fitri, then bang Alan came..
he greeted me and i was like apologizing 1.000.000 times..
for not being on time and killing the lemon cupcakes..
everyone said its fine *i sure didn't feel fine*
i cut a deal with Iin, she said she doesn't want any replacement, but i insisted, will write about that later..

so MORAL of the story is:
1. plan your timing if you're going to deliver, this is JAKARTA after all..
2. the white paper liner that is suppose to hold the cupcakes need to be taped somewhere, so no more killing the frosting grrrrrrrr!!
3. have a contact card or something so when people ask, i have a better answer than "tanya iin aja" LOL *what was i thinking moment*
4. the crucial thing about cupcakes is the handling, so these kind of risk such as ruined frosting is like MEGA DEATH..as a "tukang bakul kue" i must learn to take responsibilities for the damage i had done..i mean i'm lucky i know Iin personally, but if i want to keep this up, i better shape up! So a dozen of red velvet will be delivered sometimes next week ya :)

THANK U IIN, order again..!!
