Cupcakes for the Birthday Girl

November 15 - birthday of a wonderful friend and sister to me... tita thel... wanted to make her a cake - but can't decide if the round cake or cupcakes..... hmmm... finally after reading something somewhere - i decided on cupcakes instead and toyed with the idea of making toppers for her - nothing fancy - hehehe ... and at the same time practice my baking skills again :D

Anyways, bought some stuff and as soon as I arrived home from work, started to bake .. and was thinking of doing the toppers while waiting for the cupcakes to cool down. .. :D I used Hershey's recipe for " "PERFECTLY CHOCOLATE" CHOCOLATE CAKE, tried and tested - I stick to this for chocolate cake recipes ... found here: http://www.hersheys.com/pure-recipes/184/HERSHEY .

My first batch of cupcakes 'domed' a bit becoz - I set the oven on the highest degree? hehehe got used to doing that for the muffins! :D... but still the cuppy cakes are nice and deli!!!

fresh from the oven







the cupcakes and the birthday girl!!!



she liked them ---- so did her friends ... hehehehe
