Disaster Strikes :(

I cooked the cupcakes themselves perfectly. However when I got to the decorating part everything went wrong! I didn't whip the butter enough,so the yellow colour and blue food colouring turned it a weird green colour!
 I tried again but then the icing refused to stand up properly to look like the Cookie Monster's hair, it all just melted into itself like I just slapped the icing on.

In the spirit of the competition we weren't allowed to ask anyone to help us as this was meant to be a fun learning experience and I can tell you that I learned a lot. I need to research my recipes more thoroughly and read through any feedback and I discovered other people had issues with the green tinge.

My teacher told me it was a great idea in theory. The cupcakes were edible but not nearly as aesthetically pleasing as they were meant to be. Here they are below.

I certainly did not win the cupcake challenge, the rightful winner April made these awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cupcakes that looked great and were easy to make. She actually took the time to practice her piping technique in her own time- something that I will take on board for next time.
