HAPPY EASTER TREATS!! ^_____^


so its EASTER week! what to bake what to bake?!?! i actually had a joint house-warming party and easter one so i thought why not just bake mini cupcakes for everyone! :] these were are a great hit to my surprise! great recipe i must say!! its adapted from Simply Sweet Bake Shop took me quite a while to finish these babies as i fiddled with the fondant for ages hahaha!

PLEASE NOTE: those are NOT kittens; they are bunnies.
those are NOT ducks; they are chickens.

HAHAHAHA -_________- sigh! i'll try again next year to perfect them =P

pure strawberry cupcakes LVL☆
(i manipulated this recipe alittle - you guys would knw i dont like really sweet things, so all my recipes i will change them alittle =P)

ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (i used unsalted)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 2 tsp strawberry extract (i didnt have this, so i left it out, i used 1tsp vanilla extract)
  • 1 cups pureed fresh strawberries (or alittle bit more =P)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp teaspoon salt
method:
  • cream butter&sugar till fluffy.
  • add egg whites one at a time.
  • stir in strawberry puree, strawberry (or vanilla) extract, sour cream
    (hint: i mixed the sour cream and strawberry puree together first)
  • sift dry ingredients together
  • add to butter mixture alternatively with sour cream mixture.
  • pour into tin/ cupcake patties and bake until top is quite firm! :] yumyum~
i made the frosting myself. its a mixture of butter, icing sugar, dark chocolate and strawberry puree & cream. it was yummy~~ but i cant remember how much of each i put in .. i just randomly added hahahaa so i'll post up the frosting next time i do it again :]

*i didnt have my trusty camera on me this day so i had to use a phone to capture these =( so sad! hahahah! so sorry about the quality =(*
