Mango Pudding (2nd attempt)

Since there is still left over mango, I decided to give this a 2nd try after getting new bottle of Gelatine!
But, think my ice cube is too big, hence, this mango pudding seems to be too watery!

Baking wif Kids!

My sis would like to learn how to make cup cakes & decorate them with icing, so that she can make this again with her children in their spare time!
Since I have so many mangoes in the fridge, I have decided to make this Mango cupcake using the basic cup cake recipe from http://cookingismypassion.blogspot.com/ by adding mango essence instead of vanilla essence and some cut mango cubes in addition to my usual Chocolate Chips Muffins!






The girls simply had a wonderful time playing with buttercream icing & adding some icing decoration on the chocolate muffins!


See! She is so serious to make them perfect!


While this girl can't wait to taste her own creations!
