You think so? Afterall, there's still one more Xmas coming up. Either I'm silly or too wu-liao or too spendthrift - I don't see any mummies doing as much as I do. So...from now on, I'm going to step back a little and stop being so generous.
Preparation 1 : - done on Monday
Baked + do more icing buttercream. Was so pleased with myself coz' of my perfect time execution. I was multi-tasking with baking, washing up baking stuffs and packing up small packs for her Berries classmates.
Packed all my decorating tools + fondant (in case I may need it) in one bag. And lugged the trays of cupcakes + bag down with me to mom's place.
I decided that I shall decorate @ mom's place the next day, so I won't risk damaging the cupcakes while driving.
Preparation 2 - done on Tuesday (today)
In the morning, mom was frying the bee hoon to bring to school. She also prepared some agar agar the day before.

I helped to bring the food down while mom is still waiting for the chicken rice to cook.
I started decorating at 10+, couldn't see what the children played so when I brought the food down, asked Teacher Mamta to help me take pictures( I'm one very troublesome mother). Finished decorating at 2+, rested a while; drank water (thirsty like crazy). Then brought my cupcakes down.
Initially had wanted to bring down 25 cupcakes, but seeing how much of cakes were contributed earlier in the day I thought 16 should suffice coz' they'd be trying to clear the food.
Simple decorations, I still need alot of practice and challenging ways to decorate. But real tired.... you know buttercream are so oily... although I had 4 couplers, 2 piping tips for every tip# that I have - I ended up having to keep washing to re-use them. Sigh!
Oh! I did this cupcake flag. Cute?
Teacher Mamta didn't allow the children to choose the cupcake, but she let Athena choose - maybe coz' I was there.... and I knew my girl would choose this!!
