1 Jan 12 (Sun - New Year's Day) - Pink Cupcakes with Chocolate Chips and Pink Cupcakes with Blackcurrent

Have not been baking for quite a while and the hands felt itchy. So borrowed the baking stuff from BIL's sis yesterday to do baking today. However, sis was hogging the kitchen since morning to cook lunch and green bean soup so I could only start about 10+am. As I had done this recipe for many times so I managed to finish all the preparation in a very short time and started the baking at 11am. This time round the cupcakes turned out quite good with very little cracks at the top.
