Mixed fruits Butter Cupcakes

Updated with recipes. Almost forgot about it.

Week after week, my schedules are very packed! From weekdays to weekends, with lotsa things and agenda going on. Last Sunday, we have the leaders' thanksgiving party at Regency House, followed by thanksgiving service. In between Saturday and Sunday, I gotta prepare desserts for the party and cupcakes as Xmas gifts for colleagues and friends. Thank God for the capacity and wisdom to manage everything.

I modified my buttercake recipe slightly and add in mixed fruits and baked them into small cupcakes. The cupcakes are dense yet soft and moist. The mixed fruits goes very well with it. I decorated them with some fondant.and packed them into the decorated containers.

 

 

Makes 30 small cupcakes (Base diameter is abt 4cm)
