My first home-made cupcakes

I finally did it! Since it was a holiday yesterday and hubby was home to help take care of our little KC, I finally had the perfect opportunity to try bake some cupcakes. Once KC fell asleep in the afternoon, I rushed to the grocery downstairs and bought the ingredients I needed. Got everything except that the butter is expensive. But never mind... I did hope that the price will be worth it after I see the cupcakes done.

So once I got home, I prepared my tools and ingredients. Hubby gave me a hand by measuring the flour while I operated the electric mixer. After a series of measuring and mixing, I finally finished my cupcake batter and the proceeded to bake. Actually had to bake 2 batches of cupcake since I only have those small table top ovens. After dinner, when the cupcakes have cooled already, I prepared the buttercream icing and then started decorating the cupcakes. And finally, this was the result of my hard work...

Its still not as perfect as the ones you see selling in stores but its definitely a good start! Overall, the cupcakes were yummy and not as sweet as it looks. Little KC loved it so much especially the icing. "Kap" she would say which actually means 'sarap'. I am looking forward to making more cupcakes... hopefully, by Christmas time, I will be able to make the perfect cupcakes to serve my family when we go back to Manila.
