petite,
80 cupcakes is no joke! is it for reyes' 2nd birthday? i've never attempted such a huge project before cos i only bake for immediate family to eat. preparation and cleaning up will be time-consuming. do rope in some help if you can.
mel,

but this is conducted in a classroom setting, so may not be so cosy like sugar-inc-cake.com's.
i'm fine with either since i've never attended any cake-making course bf.
draik,
if you haven't used your oven for some time, need to turn it on and see if it still works. i heard of some ppl's oven tripping when turned on after a long time never used.
it's quite irritating and expensive having to buy different size pans etc for baking different things, so baking cannot be a "san fen zhong" enthusiasm. i'm trying to persevere..... haha.
