Project #5 SG50 (Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes)

Special request from the little one..

"Can you bake a birthday cake for Singapore, Mommy?"

I do not have confidence in making a cake YET, but here goes..

 

How's this?

My original plan was to make crescent and the 5 stars..
Proven just too difficult!

 Preparation work:

Super easy recipe for vegan chocolate cake!

Sour cream frosting!
Really difficult to get the bright red colour too, trust me!
I've used up the whole bottle of my NO TASTE RED ;-/
The picture appear brighter than the actual cream

Was really happy with the way the cupcakes rose!
