The Epic Cupcake Project

Greetings all!

I suppose you've heard about The Epic Cupcake Project then? No, well, let me explain!

In an effort to prove Pixie Nom-Nom Cupcakes' favourite mantra, 'If it's edible, it's cupcake-able!", I started The Epic Cupcake Project. Not only will this enable me to show off my wonderful cupcakery-related talents, it will also serve as an outlet to discover the best, most heavenly (and the worst, most horrendous) recipes, as well as, hopefully, create a good client base and word-of-mouth.

So, here are the rules!

1. No more than three suggestions can be submitted per person. If you give me more than three suggestions, I get to pick which three I think are the best and most challenging.

2. I can interpret your suggestions however I like. I am not God, I can't make 100% of everything into a cupcake, so if you decide to have 'chicken' as one of your suggestions, (Alex J, I'm looking at you!), then be prepared for chicken-SHAPED cakes! I know this is effectively giving me a 'cop-out' almost, but there you go. This is *my* Epic Cupcake Project. Not yours. Mnyeh.

3. I aim to do all of them by the end of my '101 Things in 1001 Days' project, which is February 2011. Yes, that's a long time, but I must have over 100 different cupcakes to make, and this way I can space them out!

4. I will *try* and get the cupcakes you suggested to you to taste, if I can. Obviously, Sydney in the USA is going to be impossible, but if you live in York, I will invite you round for cupcakey goodness.

5. I reserve the right to completely ignore ideas I think are gross or ridiculous, (eg. 'kipper' as provided by Dan, and olives 'cause I hate 'em!).
6. I will not be making anything with Nestle products. Best example of this, Taz requested Mint Aero cupcakes. Mint Chocolate, yes, Mint Aero as a Nestle product, no. I'm boycotting Nestle products.

7. I can mix people's ideas as I want to, for example, Suzy's glitter idea combined with Alice's Dolly Mixtures idea. Also, if different people ask for the same flavour, like toffee, then I am allowed to make one batch to fulfill it. Or you could just not suggest things other people have!
