Description
Cupcakes with raspberry icing . This is my first try on cupcakes. I felt ok but have to better myself for sure. My daughter ANISHA is into cup cakes now a days .So for her sake atleast i have to update myself in cupcakes. My last stay in coimbatore , she craved so much for cup cakes . Finally found one small shop where they sell cup cakes.She got a few but have to say they were way too expensive and didn’t taste good or appear good. My gal was all praises about my friend gazeena sulu kunahmed and her cup cakes. Sulus cup cakes look so beautiful that we will not want to eat them. (meaning just admiring them will be worth) Uum ok happy republic day to all. I am a real patriotic person. But i feel our patriotism stops with schools and colleges. Have to mention about my experience in my last visit to a movie theatre in fun republic mall in Coimbatore. Before the movie could start they played a musical and visual of our national anthem asking everyone to stand up. I was so surprised but had goose bumps.
