LOL.

1) So when would you be baking the cupcakes? Saturday night? Sunday?
2) There are no guarantees about who will actually come to the party so definitely double the recipe if you have the resources.
3) I am kinda partial to cupcakes b/c cake requires more “things” ie knife to cut it, plates, forks etc etc. I don’t see a problem with using the cupcake liners you have or you can go to your local grocery store baking aisle and get some simple white or foil ones too. I get my cupcake liners (aka souffle cups or party nut cups) at Smart & Final. Not sure if you have that store near you?

Q: I know Alton Brown recommends putting the cupcakes or cake in the refrigerator overnight so that’s what I did and it turned out amazing. I don’t think it would hurt leaving it in the frig for longer but I probably wouldn’t leave it more than 2 nights. Overnight for best results though. Personally I don’t think you really *need* a scale. I think you can easily just double the recipe using the scoop-and-sweep method with your measuring cups. I have a digital scale but to be honest I haven’t had any problems with my scoop-and-sweep method doubling or tripling recipes (knock on wood).

Hope that helps!

Unfortunately, I am running into some pretty serious issues and could use some guidance.
1) My boyfriend’s birthday is Sunday, March 1st, and I’m tentatively planning a suprize party for Sunday evening. Friday through Saturday afternoon, I’ll be in southern GA for training and Sunday I start working at the fudge shop in town. This makes timing when to bake stuff tricky…
2) I have no idea yet how many people I can get to come, but my worst nightmare is for everyone to go to all thr trouble of coming to a party and not getting some cake, so I’ll probably have to double the recipe, which scares me since the foodnetwork reviews said not to even try it if you don’t have a scale…
3) I have only found the cupcake liners you use once about a year ago, and I have no access to get them by next sunday, so my options are to use the regular (fall-themed) cupcake liners I have, or turn this into a cake. I’m not particularly fond of using out-of-season liners or eating around soggy ones, so I’m actually leaning toward making this into an actual cake.

So with this, my main questions are:
How long can I leave the cake in the fridge with the milk mixture on top? and
Would you recommend just doubling your recipe to get the right measurements or trying to invest in/borrow a scale?

Thanks!

I still use a home phone, but deal with the bills from hubby’s and teens’ phones – I find the touch screen ones to be a pain in the @#$ pretty soon. They are heat sensitive and are not meant to be kept near the body. Who doesn’t keep their phone near their body lately? Anyway, that is my only caveat.
Do I get a cupcake now? :)
