How To Make Cupcakes (And Eat Them)

This has been on Yining’s wish list for a while. She saw videos of people making mini cupcakes on YouTube and she asked for one of these too. So I got this machine from Taobao. Cost me about $20.

So we started making cakes on the Deepavali holiday.

Here’s Yining helping in the preparation.

This machine is new, so we tested with 1 to see how it will turn out. From the cake mix to what you see in the picture took us 4 mins. Pretty fast!

For the next round we tried 5 mins. Slightly charred, but it’s ok since we are going to put icing over it.

And here we have our cakes.

Now we pass it on to Yining to apply the icing. She tried to use a spoon to spread the icing. It wasn’t really effective, so she ended up dipping the whole cake into the icing mixture.

And it turned out pretty well!

The next step was to apply the glitters.

The final step of course is eating the cakes. All done in less than 1 hour. 🙂
