Chanel Cupcake

It was my very first time baking 50 cupcakes for a birthday party. And the theme of the cupcake is Chanel. I'm so clueless with the design, so I did some research on some designs of the Chanel cupcakes.

Actually there are so many of "My first time" when I bake this 50 cupcakes. 

My very first time of baking the Red Velvet cupcake.
The flavor is so popular in the web when I was searching for a list of cupcake flavor for my first "customer".  I have no idea how would it taste like, although I know that it will have a mild chocolate flavor. But luckily I did it, it tasted awesome. I fall in love with it. Gonna bake it again.

My very first time of using rolled fondant.
I bought a tub of Satin Ice rolled fondant since I have no confidence of making one and I do not want to make any unnecessary mistakes. The theme is Chanel which means the color theme is black & white. I bought a bottle of Wilton black coloring gel, and tried to color it the white fondant to black. I could not achieve the solid black. Did some research, many people said the easiest way is to buy a ready-made black fondant. But I was trying to keep the cost low, thus I did more research and finally found out that Americolor coloring gel can give a solid black fondant. Bought it and it really work! 

My very first time spending 8 hours in the kitchen.
I spent almost 8 hours in the kitchen doing the 50 Chanel cupcakes (exclude baking the cupcakes). It's worst than working. But it's fun! And I was so happy that the birthday girl & her guests love them!
Received some feedback that the texture of the cupcakes were a little dry, will improve it the next round.
