Green Velvet cupcakes

My Green Velvet cupcakes

Stumbled upon this gorgeous cupcakes 2 weeks ago… trying not to think about it as there is no special occasion to bake one.. hehehe since when do I need a special occasion to bake a cake??? So… after a long deliberation, I managed to persuade myself to bake it yesterday since today I have a Taddarus session… what a better way to share this lovely cupcakes with your friend…. kalau nak gemuk baik gemuk bersama-sama hehehe.

This cupcakes is so delicious and the most important thing is, it is super duper easy to make. Took me less than an hour from start to finish. Bake them yesterday before picking up my kids from school and I did the frosting last night as I have a very busy morning today. The whole batch yield about 44 super moist cupcakes.

The recipe was taken from Love From The Oven blog. Happy Baking!
