TAGlicious's Classic Cupcakes

I love baking cupcake as it is a smaller cake which designed to serve one person, which can be  baked in a small nice muffin liner. Sometime for special occasion, I will decorate it with frosting, sprinkles or other cake decoration to make it attractive. 

Upon request by Hubby, I did this for his colleagues for his farewell to his current company. Hopefully they will love this simple yet classic cupcake baked by Taglicious!

Lovely Cupcakes with a little heart
