frosted coffee cupcakes.

we have finally learnt that not many things makes us feel better than baking. and better still when they come out as attractive as these do.

the recipe is straight out of the last success, except when it was time to add the milk, we mixed in some instant coffee (from starbucks). it not only gave it the kick up the cake it needed but also helped cut down on sweetness.

frosting as always is just some butter, like double as much icing sugar, a bit of vanilla essence and pinch of salt. we recently invested $7 whole dollars for an electric mixer from the fine line of products at walmart. this saved our arms from lodging a complaint with their union reps. 

ALSO, THEY’RE FUCKING DELICIOUS. try it.

there’s a reason bakers bake so early every morning; so they catch the best light from the morning sun for their instagr.ams

yellow butter cupcakes with chocolate frosting.

recipe for cupcake from here. though the measurements gave us double the number mini-cupcakes, this is perhaps the best recipe we’ve followed to date. they are scrumptious.

frosting is but butter whipped to hell and back, icing sugar, vanilla extract and melted chocolate. i’ve heard told that adding a pinch of salt cuts back on the sickening sweetness. (humble-brag alert: we are without electric mixers, so you’re looking at the delumptious results of four tired and toned arms.)

this being our first attempt at artsy frosting, they’re a little wibbly wobbly. but give us time and an unlimited supply of cupcakes and we’ll show you just how we could…nom nom.

cakebabies: mini chocolate edition. no fancy business. standard recipe offa the internet.

but look at those colourful little buttons of love. they are perhaps the most adorable thing of food we have ever created. with the recent fortuitous acquisition of mini cupcake tray from a little place called walmart (they have a few branches, i hear), i look forward to making and nom nommming more chubbsywubbsy cakebabies often. almost too often. 

they make me so happy that i’m starting to think these feelings for food is not normal.

something went wrong for this batch of muffins. it’s like eating chocolate chip rubber tires.

so on that occassion i’m starting a new website of baking fails called DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RECIPE*.

so DO NOT FOLLOW THIS RECIPE below unless you’re into those lucy lui muffins of death from that first funny charlie’s angels movie.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 egg

1/2 cup milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp vanilla

we added chocolate chips and mushed banana just before mixing the wet and dry things. and then a quick crumble on top before throwing it in the oven. but what’s the point of telling you that, it was all terrible anyway. don’t do this.

*i lie.
