To Bake a Cupcake

1st of October - Children's Day!

Happy Children's Day to all the young and young-at-heart!

I decided to bake some mini cupcakes for my daughter to take to her Children's Day celebrations in school on Friday.

Just use any Plain Vanilla Cupcake recipe off the internet and use petit four cases instead of those standard cupcake paper cups. And a mini-muffin tray to hold them in, while baking.

Very simple!

See....

Firstly, cream the butter and sugar













Add in the eggs, one by one and continue whisking.....












Then add in the flour and milk alternately, ending with the flour.












Here's the delicious end product:


















There were about 130 of these mini-cupcakes, enough for about 3 to 4 for each child.

Join Us on Our Road Trip Through Malaysia! (Penang - Port Dickson - Malacca - Johor Bahru) Day 1 (13th Oct) - Arrival in Penang We took the early flight out (YES really early, had to check in at 6AM) via SQ to Penang.  Despite some ground vehicle trouble, we made it on the dot to the lovely island of Penang! Our personal bodyguard aka Maniscooking.com was at the airport to greet us, thereafter we hopped into our rental car (Hawk generously gave us an upgrade, but I think they just ran out of the model we orginally booked). This took us to an early lunch at Hai Beng Coffee Shop (3, Jalan Jones, George Town, 10250 George Town, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia). We had  the local fare of  lor mee, char kway teow and  wantan mee . And some yummy assam sting ray, although we could have passed on the sotong and chicken.    Home Sweet Home for a Couple of Days! We managed to navigate our way to a lovely place we'll be calling home

Just bought some Moontarts from Harbour City Restaurant at Junction 8 - check them out! They're so cute and tiny and glossy - yummy to boot! I got the Macadamia Nut Pure Lotus Seed Paste (Mum prefers macadamia over walnuts anytime). And it's YUMMILICIOUS! Enough said, just look at the photos: That's the Box it came in, and look at the contents.... Here's a close-up - check out the macadamia nuts, they certainly don't short change you.... there're really quite a few. But for the amount you're paying per box, they'd better... Oh, and here's a small Pink Snow Skin Mooncake I got for Lynnette: I bought this tiny little thing (no larger than the moontart actually) from Bengawan Solo. Lynnette's been asking for one. She really enjoyed it!
