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! Moreover is so simple to make, just dump everything into mixer and blend, within less than 30mins, a batch of freshly bake cupcakes is ready on the table :D
