Breaking the rules. by jgoldrup

Breaking the rules.

This has nothing to do with the 'btr' challenges, but do like that idea so have done my own. Rules broken:
1. Subject dead centre.
2. Pink and green should never be seen, except in a washing machine.
3. Using an in-camera miniature effect (I thought it gave it a nifty fifty look) and tagging the photo SOOC. Oh, maybe that's not btr....;)
4. Purchasing a cupcake at Susie's Shortbreads. In 2011, I decided Susie's just wasn't up to my cupcake standards. But I was walking right by the place, I was hungry, and it is just an indulgent day. The chocolate Guinness icing was good, but the chocolate cake was dry. Serves me right.

I hope none of you wake up in a puddle of green puke tomorrow...
I like it

Well - some rules are just made to be broken! That's a great looking cupcake - too bad it didn't measure up to its curb appeal - oh well, there was always a chance the quality had improved - I imagine you won't be giving them a third chance!

looks tasty, disappointing that the cake was below par

You're such a bad girl for breaking all the rules ;). Looks yummier than you described it. And the dead center was a perfect choice!

I was in Sheffield on Saturday for the day and in this little district just outside the city there were about 5 barkeries, 5 cake/tea shops and a couple of antique furniture shops and a chocolate shops. If I had been a cupcake person I would have lost it - they were everywhere! As it is I ain't (never trust anything that looks this cute to taste good) I'm more of a Bakewell tart/frangipane kinda guy. Nice rule breaking pic though.

this looks amazing and yummy - too bad the cake was dry! i made cupcakes on the weekend and it was sort of opposite - they looked like garbage (my first attempt at making my own icing) but tasted heavenly

You'll be happy to know that I did not, in fact, wake up in a puddle of green puke. I didn't even have one single drink for Paddy's day:)
