hot hot hot.

It's been really really REALLY hot these few days on sunny island, and i cannot stand the intense heat not even for 5 minutes out and about. it burns your skin and make your perspire like a tap. so much for showers. prfft. 

 Anyways, these cupcake photos are quite overdue but i thought i'd share it with you guys! I happen to have peanut butter at home and decided to make peanut butter cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. I tried a different decoration for the buttercream and it was my first time piping flowers with a rose tip! At first i thought it was gonna be an utter disaster, but i guess it turn out kinda alright for a first timer like me. phewww.

 And and! this photo above is actually the icon at the top of flawed bakes website! looks kinda different aye. all thanks to tee ming!

I also made a small batch of fondant cupcakes for my friends Leen and Yao. It was their big 21st and i thought it'll be nice to give them some adorable looking cupcakes as presents.

Doesn't the colour combination reminds you a little of Hello Kitty? haha.

Peanut Butter Cupcakes (makes about 15-18 cupcakes)
- 225g Butter
- 225g self-raising flour
- 225g caster sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 3 big tablespoon of peanut butter
(if you like a stronger taste of peanut butter in your cake, you can add a few more tablespoon into the mix)

- Preheat oven at 175 degrees
- Whisk butter and sugar together till it's light and fluffy
- Add in vanilla essence and eggs bit by bit and whisk on low speed until you get a thick consistency
- Add in flour bit by bit too and whisk. your mix should be really thick and gooey after that.
- Put your cupcakes in the oven for 20-25 minutes until it's springy when you touch them. you can use a skewer if you have one, or a short satay stick.
