Cupcake Momma!!

At the Art Market, besides the fun of performing in the great outdoors, I also stumble upon some amazing CUPCAKES!! haha... They are absolutely pretty and yummy too!
At first glance, they look like some kids play-doh project, their vibrant colours and cute design may be too much to swallow. I bot them becoz i tot they were pretty, din really xpected them to taste half as good as they look. But fortunately enough, i was proven wrong.
They were made of butter rich spongy cakes topped with sweet and sinful butter frosting. [Warning: Very Fattening! Do not attempt if you are unable to live with the guilt]
The cupcakes come in delectable designs to choose from. I bought 2 cupcakes back form the Art Market on Sat, ate them at home and realized how nice they were. So on Sunday, i went all the way back to Fort Canning Park to buy another 8!
About the "disfigured" cupcakes above, i apologize for KH, who have accidentally knocked the boxes of cupcake off the table during dinner... This box suffered less damage. The other box... i would rather not tok abt it.. sigh...
About the Cake:
  • Buttery Vanilla Sponge. Reminded me of the 60 cents butter cream cakes we used to be able to get on our local confectionery. So full of flavour and buttery richness, with a tint of saltiness make it very appetizing.
  • In also came in Chocolate Sponge, a dark brown moist cake. Not too sweet, but very chocolatey. nice... kinda reminded me of the birthday cake u get at McDonalds if you throw a party there.
  • Blueberry Cake, a new flavour according to the owner. Not to my liking, because of the somewhat artifical blueberry flavouring. (like they added too much blueberry essence or something.. strong smelly) Also the cake was too sweet when eaten with the sweet frosting.

About the Frosting:

  • All Butter and Sugar! Best kind of frosting in my opinion. It is wat that makes the cupcake my "Happy" Cake... like Space Cake...
  • The butter is smooth but the sugar is a little coarse. A good butter frosting will have its sugar melted and combined with the butter. But in this frosting you can still bite the sugar crytals. I suspect its the kind of butter they used. Strangely, i left the cake over night without refrigeration and the frosting din melt at all by next morning. (Mind you: Singapore room temp is between 27 ~30 degrees celsius) If it's butter, i would expect it to melt or at least see some oil separation from the frosting...
  • Then again... it is hard to find butter frosting these days... this is good... in controlled amount tt is... too many of them at a go will make you feel oozy...

So if you are interested they are from Cupcake Momma. You can check them out online, coz they dun have a shop haha...
