Direction....

Chocobanana Cupcakes

May 31....My office's family day... We were going to Waterbom!! I've promised my co-workers that I would bring something for them on Family day and I decided to make cupcakes. The original recipe is Lapis Pandan Putih Telur from Mbak Monica which I revised at some parts (the revision are on bold and italic text). I also add banana to enrich the taste and it worked so well.
