Choc Mint Cupcakes ~ 薄荷巧克力蛋糕


I gave these simple cupcakes a light 'makeover' by dressing them up with toffee shards . together with a light dusting of icing sugar.  These cupcakes are moist and soft with a hint of mint chocolate and it will be great to serve them at family gatherings or to your guests during the coming festive season.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包
