Hokkaido Chiffon cupcakes

For me, this chiffon are just like normal chiffon cakes with custard filling, maybe due to the texture is very light and also it is decorated with icing sugar, look similar like snow in Hokkaido Japan..

suggest you to store this cupcake in the fridge, the custard cream tasted like eating ice-cream, good one..
