Birthday ice-cream cupcakes!

Goodbye November, and Hello December! :D

Assalammualaikum & good day!

Alhamdulillah the weather is sunny right now in Sibu, and before i'm doing my laundy i better update my blog with the post that was meant to be posted on 16th November. LOL.

On last 15th November, which was my birthday, i tried to make my own birthday cupcakes. And the most challenging thing is i don't even have an electrical mixer and a baking oven.

And i only get to use a FORK for beating!





And this for baking!






As for the muffin, i just used Vanilla muffin recipe that i found online. At first i want to make a buttercream icing however after beating the muffin's batter, i gave up. LOL.
And now, onto the process...


Beating the butter and granulated sugar. 
Smells nice as i love eating these with breads! *_*


And now with eggs. 
The texture doesn't look good as the butter and sugar 
did not get enough beatings.


After getting some essence, milk, baking powder and flour.

After that, i just put the batter inside cups according to 2/3 of your cup.
And bake it inside the cooking ware that have been warmed up.
 Just simply put them inside and no i didn't use steam method this time. 
Will try that next time.


So yeah, this is how they look like after baking. 
Lots of air bubbles i think, and they don't get fluffy like muffins always do. :/


Since they're kinda 'bare', so i decided to pump up some strawberry jam inside.
Since the muffin already have holes, so it is easy for me. :P

Squeeze in any amount you like. 
People will find the surprise when they took a bite. ;)

With normal muffin, one squeeze of jam is enough i think?
But i have sweet tooth, so no problemo if i put more! X3

Since it was tiring to beat up for the icing, so i put ice-cream on the muffins.
Sorry, the ice-cream kinda melting since i just used the cheap brand.
You can decorate with anything that you like. :)


So ta-daa!! My Raspberry ice-cream cupcake!!! XD

Overall satisfaction, 50-50. i need to do better next time. :)
Hoping for an oven & a mixer soon!
