I'm so restless now! but hey, still have the 30% energy to update!  Here's the end product, pretty? I hope so! I'm just so happy my parents and little sibling love it! & honestly, my adorable sister have been eating the cupcake for the 5th time. So what's that prove? Nyum nyum nyum much? haha! 

Red velvet ( the cupcake is in red colour , thanks to the food colouring! ) with chocolate sundae on top! 

So as promise ! FROSTING recipe!

For today , I'll blog about my favorite sundae frosting !

Ingredients :

• 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoon of cocoa powder ( sift it to avoid clumps)
• 180 ml Fresh milk 
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence 

Mixed all the ingredients in a saucepan and stir it every 2 minutes ! This will take up to 10 minutes to get ready!After it's done, spread it all over the cupcake! :)) Simple ? 

Hope that helps!

Birthday cake for the little one.

The other day, we had a mini birthday party for my little sister ( she turned 10 ) & yes you guess it right! Obviously i baked cupcakes for her! Brownie cupcakes! yes it's rich of chocolate & butter! (lot's of calories there!hehe) And it's ingredients & method is easy-peasy! no mixer required! :) There's no fuss rule in baking , so if you have the tastiest brownie recipe! you can alway apply to cupcakes too!

Ingredients :

• 150 g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder 
• 80 unsalted butter , buttercup is the best!
• 150 g sugar (icing sugar more preferable)
• 2 eggs 
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 180-150g of broken pieces of dark chocolate

Take note : Use adequate amount of butter. And make sure the ratio of butter : flour should be around the same! Personally , i normally use butter not more than 80 g ! Why? - your 'cup' won't be too oily! & flour should be around 150 g! 

Remember your chocolate/butter/sugar should be place over simmering water ! Add eggs one at a time, after that add your dry ingredients! and Walah! your brownie cupcakes! & approximately about 12 cupcakes depend on the size the cupcake paper! :)

Stay tune to next post : Frosting made easy!

Hello cupcakes galore blog!

Hey ! I've been wanting to create a blog (cupcake blog) for quite some time now since i started my business 3 months ago!  And i must say, i really enjoyed baking and be a businesswoman myself!!Honestly, i didn't know i had the capability & talent to bake! Never EVER cross my mind! Oh well it's been my baby ever since! Beginning is never easy, the ingredients especially frosting have to be the right amount to get the right consistency & quality & design! You ask - why cupcake? cupcakes are the new cake! I prefer it to be as cute as possible! :)) As you know business is another challenge too,honestly sales is a big  boo-boo in the beginning especially selling cupcakes online! Customers tend to have that second thought! I had this mini-trial session during the 1st month ! and yes it went well, i was extremely pleased with great support from friends and families to new customers as well!

       So what you can expect from cupcake galore?

• My favorite recipe!
• Insights of 'Sweet Niblets'
