Vanilla Cupcakes, Strawberry Cupcakes, Chocolate Cupcakes

[Quote] : InsyaAllah, I will write more about it tomorrow if time
permits.[Unquote]

Well, it's not that time does not permit me to do so sooner, but it's just me who doesn't know how to manage time. Wah... this time, mama is blaming herself and not the time... mama, are you okay? Ahaks...

Anyway, let's move on to the cupcake's story. In my previous entry, I had said that I felt like I am not going anywhere with my cupcakes design, and actually I still have that feeling till now. But when I read all the nice comments left behind on that entry, it sort of lifted up my spirit. And as if it was 'nicely arranged', Nora called me up and asked me to bake for her 3 boxes of cupcakes for her daughter, Hanis Maisarah's birthday. Hmm... I can't let her down as she had ordered from me a few times already. So yes, Nora, I'll do it for you and what's more, she gave me full freedom as of how to decorate the cupcakes. Then when I checked my email, in came Mas's order for a box of cuppies. No specific theme on the deco! Wow and double wow.... Alhamdulillah, Allah Maha Kaya Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Mengasihani...... Thank you to both lovely ladies for trusting in me despite what I had written in my previous entry. Mama jual ye...
Shabana had written an email to me, asking if I had tried the Vanilla cupcake recipe she had given me quite sometime back. Oh gosh, I had forgotten all about it...naughty mama! Pepani Shabana..... When she emailed me the recipe again, I tried it straight away. Not only that Shabs, I modified it into 3 different flavours! Thank you so much Shabs for sharing the recipe with me so that I can share it with others.....
