Fyi, It didnt really successful. I give it 50.1% la our of 100%. The texture of the cupcakes wasnt tat good, but the taste is fantastic.
After doin some evaluation, is either we put less better of we put too much milk.
The recipe comes in 'cup'... which is abit hard for us to estimate how much half cup of butter is. And... we have a tough time looking for buttermilk. So we replace buttermilk with milk and add abit of buttermilk essense (I know is weird~!). Mayb becoz of that the texture didnt seems to come out like wat we expected.
my sis did the cupcakes frosting the next day by herself because i went for my dancing practise.
The forsting tasted exactly like 'ferrero rocher'. Just tat is abit sweeter la...(my sis is not good at baking...honestly)hahahaha!!!!but i m..*claps*
LOL!
