Explosion in my Oven
It has been a long time since I last bake anything so over the long weekend I decided to utilise my oven (PiggBeng has been complaining that the oven will soon be a white elephant in the kitchen!) and see if it still in working condition. 
Well, it is still working fine so I whipped up the ingredients for one of my favourite cupcake recipes.
What I did not anticipate is, after a short while into the oven, the cuppies started to explode! Yes, read it… EXPLODE!!! Just like the volcanoes… erupting lava! 
I was in total shock and disbelief… in my entire baking history, this is the first time ever I experienced such thing! Some of the mommies on MSN saw my message and asked me what happened… so this is what happened….
Exploded mini cuppies
Unpreturb, I try again the next morning and guess what? Instead of more explosions, this time they SUNK! What a bummer! I was stunned and mad… wasted all my chocolate and electricity! PiggyBeng made more noises and said I’m not cut out to bake… 
Of course I don’t give up… die-die must come out with something…
So, I went to my favorite baking blog site and search for suitable recipes to test out…. And tadaaaa……
Oreo Cookies Cupcakes with Mint Frosting
Some of the lucky mamas who managed to taste these cuppies are Angie (who came to Penang for vacation), Allisia and Sharine who turned up for the Penang Mamas Meet.
I made 2 batches of my favorite banana cupcakes which I brought to PiggyBeng’s aunty house on Sunday evening and another batch of the Oreo cookies cupcakes yesterday. So far all of them turned out fine and no further exploded or sinking cupcakes! *pheeew!*

thanks thanks! Will try to do more complicated designs next time… hehehe
I was tempted to laugh whilst reading about the “explosive” cupcakes….1st time in my baking life that i’ve come across that. Too much baking powder perhaps? By the way a reason of why possibly your cupcakes may have sank could be because the oven was not hot enough and hence the centre collapsed. My oven is new and un-touched, except to warm up pizzas
Maybe i used self raising flour instead of normal flour… will try again when I have time and see where I go wrong.
Not sure if the oven is at the right temp or not as it dont have an indicator so I make sure I pre-heat it long enough.
p.s. laugh all you want…. LOL

Scarylah to hear of your oven exploding. My confinement lady was badly burned when her previous client’s stove exploded. Do take care!
