It has been pretty hot the past couple days and that really turned out to be a problem with the cupcakes made with the fish toppers. I decided to try making Marshmallow Buttercream...tasted good...doesn't like our summers here in Halifax. I was on my way out of town and thought I could meet halfway with the cupcakes...bad bad idea. They were in the car for 30 minutes TOPS...the icing was all melting off them. The suckers were starting to melt and the fins were starting to come off. Yeah it was hot, but I had also made other cupcake and the icing stayed on them just fine. Such a disappointing and plain crap feeling when you are delivering crap cupcakes. Lucky for me she's my best customer and I have known her for a little bit now, and she was very understanding...all the same... No more marshmallow buttercream!!!
So before the fiasco, in the kitchen, here is what the cupcakes looked like.
