Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes

cherries are almost like strawberries, ok!

So enough of chocolate! For the past few receipes, I realised somehow or other, I'll incorporate some chocolate. Yes, I'm a convicted chocoloholic and I need to wean myself off it. 

(to chocolate, pretend I never said such thing!)

Well, in lieu of my parents' birthdays, both in March, they have requested something fruity and tangy. While I was brainstorming, I came across a old cartoon that is the reminiscent of my childhood. Then the wires in my head connected.

Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes!

Oh, I could see it already, crumbly, fluffy, bursting with strawberries.

But then, I wanted a challenge - I wanted to create a crumbly cupcake that turned into custard once it was cold. So I store them away in the fridge without worry. I wanted strawberries to flavour the cupcake and not use any sort of extract or essence.

I was on a mission.

So, combining my expertise (which is by the way super limited) and some research, I am pleased to present an original concoction - the Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake.

Maple Syrup Pancake Muffins with Rose Icing

hello my pretty yet decadent friend

Ok, how could I even resist the thought of a maple syrup pancake IN a muffin? I was snooping around the internet looking for quirky recipes when I came across this absolutely wonderful idea of putting my favourite breakfast deal into a little muffin which I can carry around with me and share the love.

It's very comforting this creation, it gives you both the syrupy feeling of a good morning and yet the kick of a good evening. It makes everything in this world seem bearable - trust me. This muffin can literally END FEUDS.

So, I highly recommend everyone to either a) bake this or b) eat this or c) find/bribe/ someone to bake this then eat this - because this muffin will make you see colours again.

please ignore the funny coloured mexican fabric, it's one of my many flaws in photography!
