Attention Bakers! I need your help!

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

OK I have been asked to make these cupcakes for a lady’s baby shower. I have never made a dessert that I got paid for so I need some advice from you all.

1. What should I charge for them? I am only making 12, but will probably throw in an extra for the Mom-to-be to take home. These are pretty intricate but I think this job could turn into other jobs.

2. Anyone have any suggestions for the white chocolate glaze that goes on the chocolate cupcakes? (I have to make 6 chocolate and 6 vanilla cupcakes) I have made white chocolate ganache before but it turned out rather translucent and I need these to be opaque. I guess I cold always used fondant but I wanted it to look more like a glaze.

I am a bit overwhelmed with this job, but luckily I have a couple weeks to experiment before they have to be done. But I am sure I will be making lots of friends with all of my “trials”!
