Banana Sprinkle Cupcakes~

Hi guys! My second challenge of the day is Banana Sprinkle Cupcakes

Why? See, one of my friend, Taro, is here in Brissie and staying over for a night with his friend, Midori. They’re leaving to Perth tomorrow night and I offered to drive them to the airport. And while they were playing around with Guitar Hero, Taro said he was craving for a banana cake. and so, I made that as my second challenge!

I love making cupcakes and even tho I don’t like eating them, I like making them for people to eat and it is a happy thing to see and know when someone appreciated my cakes It brings smile to my face. And so today, I have two assistants, Taro and Midori

 This is Taro, smelling the delicious scent of a fresh banana cake. Trust me, it was that good.

 This is Midori, Taro’s friend (and my friend’s now!) posing with the cuppies~ so kawaii ne~

So these are the freshly baked cupcakes looked like. Very nice golden brown. And the paper cups are so Christmas!

And we waited until they were cold enough so we can put the icing on top of them.

And the final look! Ta Da! looking to delicious!

The verdict: Taste Awesome! very delicious! They kept on eating them before they even cooled down, I had to tell them to back off! seriously, that good  

The recipe were inspired from a book called “500 cupcakes-the only cupcake compendium you’ll ever need” by Fergal Connolly.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
