HUMMINGBIRD CUPCAKES

 Hi... uols penah ke makan Hummingbird Cake ni? Kalau tak pernah apa kata uols try resepi ni sebab nak buat dia senang je..main campak-campak je gitu but its not to my liking because i think its  kind of dense. Maybe memang macam gitu kot tekstur dia sebab iols pun tak penah rasa kek ni kt mana-mana sebelum ni.
Iols berani cuba resepi ni pun sebab mendapat review yang agak bagus. Resepi asal dari Valli Little. Iols buat half of the recipe.  Apa-apa pun belum cuba belum tahu so terpulang pada citarasa masing-masing..Jom layannnn...
