VANILLA BUTTER CUPCAKES

Entri hari ini nak share recipe Vanilla Butter Cupcakes yang sangat marvellous ni dari Buku Resipi "Favourite Cupcakes and Cheesecake" saya.  Sebenarnya buku ini lama sudah dibeli, dok simpan kat bookshelves tu. Tetiba teringin pulak nak buat cupcakes yang comel-comel ini.  Tu yang buat semalam walaupun dah lewat jam 10 malam tapi memandangkan senang saje nak buatnya, tu yang go ahead juga.  Cupcakes comel ini boleh dapat 12 biji ye.  Guna ice-cream scoop untuk mendapatkan quantity yang sama dalam satu paper cup.

Anyway, sorry ye because recipenya dalam bahasa Inggeris tapi I am sure sume boleh faham. Senang, mudah dan sedap cupcakes ini.  Saya buat malam semalam, ingatkan nak letak frosting petang ni balik office, tengoklah dulu kalau rajin tapi tanpa topping pun sedap juga cupcakes ini.  So if you all rajin dan nak tengok cupcakes yang lebih cantik dan menarik, bolehlah letak toppingnya.

Selepas frosting, inilah hasilnya....they are so so delicious...so easy pulak tu nak buat frosting dan decorate cupcakes ini....sangat comel kan?
