Green Tea White Chocolate Cupcakes

Think no one can resist this cute little cupcakes :P My son was waiting eagerly while I was spreading the frosting on these green tea cupcakes. "Mummy...ready or not?" Me : "No...I still need to take some pictures..", "Mummy....why so slow?...." >.< So happy when he finally got to savour a cupcake and told me NICE! Kids are kids...anything taste sweet they will say nice hahaha...but this green tea chocolate cupcakes indeed taste moist and nice lah. Though only a teaspoon of green tea powder is added into the batter, the flavour is good!
