Would you like something sweet?
These wonderful, fluffy, soft sweets
are the answer to your wish.
The version that I propose is the classic vanilla,
I assure you that the scent that will invade your kitchen,
You back with the mind of those magic moments,
when you were kids and you waited for the cake to come out of the oven.
Instead of using for the topping,
butter cream
I have prepared a mascarpone and philadelphia cream …
using colorant for foods,
the cakes have become very cheerful and inviting.
To drink with these cupcakes
I recommend a South African tea,
African Sunrise,
tea with aromatic scents, lemongrass cardamom,
coconut,red currant.
cornflower pink pepper.
