Mmm... Cupcakes.

Woke up by my mum this morning and the first thing she said was (translated) "Ah boy ar. Later you make cupcakes hor. Yesterday I make till left 1 more batch. The ingredients all there liao. You go finish it up."

Hm. K. Since I was bored anyway (my dad refused to let me use the computer -.-")

Might as well tell you guys how to make it, so you guys can make it at home =\

Erm.. I'm not quite sure about the exact amount of ingredients. I never prepare them anyway. I always just make use of what my mum gives XD

I'll update it if I remember to ask my mum about the exact amounts haha.

Ingredients:

Pack of Ground Almond

Chocolate/Rainbow rice grain (or whatever topping you want)

Self-Raising Flour

Artificial Vanilla Flavour (or whatever flavour you want)

Slab of butter

Eggs

Sugar

Container to hold the cupcakes

Steps:

1) Smash/Melt the slab of butter and stir

2) Add in sugar and stir till the sugar looks evenly spread out in the butter

Ideally, it should look creamy-white like this:

3) Add eggs and stir well

Looks like tau hui lol..

Looks much better now =D

4) Add flour slowly and stir well

(unless your arm is super strong and you are confident that you can mix a whole lot of flour with the mixture properly)

5) Add almond and stir well

6) Add vanilla essence and stir well (yes, stir well once again.. lol)

The bottle of "artificial vanilla flavour"!

1 spoonful will do... But if u want more "vanilla taste", then add more. Duh!

7) Pour in the mixture into the container

(don't put too much or you might end up with a tumour cupcake! Remember there's self-raising flour inside!)

I put 5x5... then my mum said "NO YOU! Waste space!"...

... And this is what happened -.-"

8) Add chocolate/rainbow rice garins as topping

9) Put it into the oven till it becomes golden-brown in colour!

Use a toothpick to poke it. Make sure that the cupcake is NOT sticky like the mixture

10) And... YOU"RE DONE!

Interesting tip:
You know the triangularish thingy bakers in bakeries use to squeeze cake toppings or cream out neatly? Wanna know how to make one yourself? Easy!

All you need it a plastic bag and a pair of scissors!

Step 1: Get a plastic bag and a pair of scissors (well duh.)

Step 2: Cut a hole in the plastic bag on the sealed end (preferably the corner)

Step 3: Fill in the mixture into the plastic bag from the open end and.. tada!

See the small triangular cut in the centre?

that's the first version I made.. then I realised its better to cut the corner instead =\
