hmm.. my 1st attempt at making my cupcake failed. My cupcake shrank terribly and tremendously the moment i took it out from the oven and as it cools further, it started to shrink from the sides as well.
The cupcakes tasted rubbery and tough...boohoo. Didn't know where went wrong actually cos the more i tried creaming the butter and castor sugar the more creamy it gets. I suspect the butter was too soft maybe? It just didn't attain the light and fluffy texture.
Following that i added 3 eggs which made it worse... it became more creamy as i creamed it further. The mixutre literally like fell off my spoon the minute i spooned them into the cup cases. Its definitely different from what i saw on youtube and at my baking class.... urghh.
True enough, the cupcakes turned out sigh... ( no words to describe how i felt)
Until now i still don't know what has gone wrong cos i just couldnt get the castor sugar and the butter to attain the light and fluffy texture which was the most important step i think.
Don't know if i should go for another shot at baking on Monday.. a bit demoralized now
