I was asked again this year to have a table for Beer Sprocket. Last year I made 400 mini cupcakes, this year I only had to make 300. I’m not sure the exact number, but it was a little over 300.
So on Friday I got to work…
Jen loaned me her mixer this year. I’ve actually had it for over a month since they moved the date of the event due to possible bad weather in April.
This is what 300+ mini cupcakes looks like when they are all boxed up and ready to go. I didn’t get a chance to stop by the bakery supply store beforehand and so I had all different sized boxes to use to pack them up in. Thankfully I had enough room and all of the cupcakes made it out to Choctaw unharmed.
My little table full of goodies. I was smack in between my brother-in-law’s beer table and the beer table of another distributor. What fun.
Last year I did four different flavors, this year I went with three. Shawn asked me to try out some beer flavored cupcakes so I went with:
Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting
Raspberry chocolate chip with chocolate buttercream
Cherry with vanilla buttercream.
The Raspberry and Cherry flavors were from a couple of Fruit Ales that Shawn gave me. I think they turned out pretty well.
Before I knew it all of the cupcakes were gone and I got to call it a night.
Up next?
I’ve got two dozen red velvet cupcakes for a woman I meet at Beer Sprocket, and some red velvet whoopie pies for my friend Patti. It’s going to be a good weekend.
