This is my 1st time join Bake Along which is organized by Kitchen Flavours,Frozen Wings and Bake For Happy Kids.Now they also welcome other bloggers to join this event. Actually i just done this cupcakes few hours ago. I supposed to make this cupcake yesterday but i was having migraine and no mood to do any baking yesterday..
I like this event, it is kind of fun to bake along with other bloggers who has the same passion in baking..
I have yet to make any cupcakes with frosting in this Aspiring Baker month, this recipe just come at the right time. Love the key lime cream cheese frosting in this recipe, but need to reduce the sugar amount as we found the cupcake is way too sweet for our tastebud.
Since i posted a bit late, so i just copy Frozen Wings' recipe (Thanks Lena) which already halved and i made minor changes..
Also my first time did buttermilk and butter at home, will share the recipe in my next post.
