If making a cake sounds a little intimating to you, try to make these cupcakes. They look as lovely and taste as yummy as the lemon cake.

When it comes to making dessert with alcohol, I think the question is how present is the booze flavour? And I apply the same mentality towards cooking into baking – use something that is good enough to drink. After all for baking, you don’t need a lot. It won’t hurt to dig out your best stuff.

I am not a big fan of tea. I am more a coffee person. However, I do like the fact that tea has a calming effect. Once in a while, I like to have a cup of warm tea, maybe in a winter afternoon.

First of all, I think I have over-beaten the buttercream, that’s why the air bubbles. Other than that, these cupcakes are fantastic. It’s so much fun to dress your standard banana cake and turn it into these funky little treats.
