Another Day Another Project

October 12, 2010: Another Day Another Project

My boss finally came back to work.  Things have been running like crazy.  We already started getting pie orders for the Thanksgiving season (we usually sell about $20,000 combined during the week before and the week of Thanksgiving).  The smaller Malden store did not receive product that was supposed to be on sale this week so our workload has almost doubled to try to make these little cupcakes that probably won't sell in their store anyways.  The store manager asked us to make them so it was up to me to do it.  Total for this day I made approximately 800 of these packs of cupcakes.  200 will go to small Malden and the rest we will sell.  Ironically of those 200 that store will probably sell one.  Do these look good to you?

These are authentic Oreo cookie cupcakes.  They are a chocolate cupcake with Oreo Bettercream frosting and half of a Double Stuf Oreo on top.

These are Chips Ahoy cupcakes.  They are a vanilla cupcake base with Chips Ahoy Bettercream on top and half of a Chips Ahoy cookie.


I meant to do this sooner, but just so you guys get a feel of what I am talking about when I say Bettercream this is what I am talking about:

It is the one pure white frosting that we have.  Others such as fresh whipped cream or traditional frosting have a yellowish hue.  Traditional frosting is the usual type that you would have on a cupcake; very sweet and solid.  Whipped cream tastes exactly like whipped cream out of the can.  Bettercream is a completely different taste.  It is sweet, but whipped.  It has a kind of marshmallow flavor.

Until Next Time.

Stay Sweet,
