Matcha Cupcakes with Matcha Cream Cheese Frosting

February 26, 2015

The friends love my cupcakes.

But i is not a good friend… for i always let the friends crave for the longest time before i bake for them again. Heee!

So yupssss, these cupcakes were baked just for the girlfriend… who devoured 3 just this morning for her breakfast and she got so upset with herself because devouring 3 means she has another 3 left only — totally not her original plan! Hahaaa!
