My Chocolate Cupcake Journey..

Around November to December 2010, all the magic begin! I attracted to a Food Magazine that has a Chocolate cupcake cover. Before that, I like to cook fried rice (my favorite food most), but it's doesn't taste good. Cupcake is my first experience to bake. 

My first journey,..

After I bought the magazine, I'm looking for the chocolate cupcake recipe inside the magazine. I found it! The recipe confusing me that time. What is medium protein flour? What is unsalted butter? Is it Blueband (well-known brand of margarine)? What is baking powder? Is it same with baking soda? and many more. Then, I with mom went to Bakery Supply shop. My mom is not a baker, so I'm looking for my ingredient by myself. I asked the shopkeepers to help me find my ingredient. Finally, I got it! 

Then, I went home, and tried to make them. The first step called, "mix in butter, caster sugar, egg, and salt". How can I do that? Then, I had a good idea! Using my Blender! (I don't have mixer that time :D). I put it all in one, then pulse, pulse, and pulse until all come blended. Bad idea? I don't thing so :P, it's unforgettable experience! After that, the third steps, "pour the melted chocolate over the batter". How to melt this big piece of chocolate? I read the steps to melting chocolate. Double boiler technique! Do you know what I do? I put a sauce pan with a little water, that put a little bowl inside, and than put my bigger bowl on the little bowl with a little piece of chocolate. Its sound very complicated right? hahaha.. that happenings. Yeah, finally, I melt my chocolate! Then I pour over the batter and mix in some chocochips (yumm :9), I'm ready to go. I bake them on my family big gas oven, and its burn. I set the oven to normal and broiler, the recipe called to bake for 20 minutes, but in my case, 10 minutes is already made them burn. Its not look like what I expected. Then I tried to bake them on my family little oven.. After 20 minutes, its half way cooked, then, 10 minutes later, Its finally done! I tasted them, and yum! My sister and my parent love them! I feel so happy that time. 

This is the result after a few weeks! A little bit bad looking huh? :D

 Hope you enjoyed reading my journey. I'm sorry for my bad grammer!
