Chocolate cupcakes in different forms...

I managed to shake off the lazy streak in me and get ready my baking materials for Cupcakes. Yay!! I love cupcakes. I tried baking cupcakes last christmas but they looked 'weird'. They resembled like cupcake but it tasted like some chinese chewy cakes for offering to the Buddha. Pardon me if I'm citing a rather bad example. So I guess something must've gone wrong somewhere but I can't pin point what went wrong exactly. Oh well, failure is the key to success. That's what my primary school teachers used to tell us and from  the cheesy soap operas.

I decided to give another shot in baking cupcakes again and I used chockylit's recipe. She has baked so many different types of cupcakes and got me droooling. As my buttercream icing failed me or should I say, I failed the buttercream icing, I didn't pipe any cream on top of my ice cream cone cupcake. =( I need to practise on my piping skills, I really do.




I put some of the batter on the paper souffle cups and they, thankfully, they turned out nicely. I bought some sprinkles from Wilton a while back and finally I got a chance to use them. My mum is thrilled to see the sprinkled on cupcakes. I promised I will save one cupcake for her and one for my dad, else my mum will be jealous. Haha!

Megan: Thanks! U pour the chocolate cupcake batter into the ice cream cone till it reaches 1.5 inch before the rim of the cone or 3/4 full to prevent batter from overflowing when baked. =)

Preeti: Thank you! :)
