mga luto ko

munting aklatan ng mga lutuin na nalaman, natutunan at minana ko sa lola orang ko, sa nanay ko, tiyahin, tiyuhin, mga kapatid, mga pinsan, mga kaibigan, at iba pa na hindi nagdamot ng kaalaman nila sa pagluluto ng kahit na anu-ano lang. i-share ko rin sa inyo, malay niyo magustuhan niyo version ko at version nila! paunawa lang po na di ako kasing-galing ng lola ko o ng nanay ko magluto - minsan tyamba lang! pero masarap naman (daw) ang kinalalabasan... :)

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
