Naina's Starstruck In Love Cake and Cupcakes

I met Naina thought my sister. She and a friend were in Manila for a business trip but business trips shouldn’t be all business right? So we squeezed in a day having lunch on top of an active volcano and a weeknight at a quiet little place then called The Embassy.

We had a blast touring Naina around. She was a great company, loads of fun and there was never a dull moment with her.  I love hearing her stories about India. I'd love to see The Taj Mahal someday.

I thank Facebook I was able to reconnect with her. Recently, she sent me a mail asking for a simple cake recipe to surprise her boyfriend. I’m glad I gave her Mama’s no fail, perfectly moist, most decadent chocolate cake. It’s easy, quick and the perfect recipe for a beginner.

She loved the recipe she made a batch in cupcake and the another in cake form. She even got drunk eating cupcakes. How cool is that! I have baked countless cupcakes in my lifetime but I have never experienced getting drunk eating cupcakes. Maybe I should put that in my bucket list. You should, too.

Here are her creations! Chocolate cupcakes with lovely sprinkles – 

And the “Starstruck in Love” cake. Love love love the name.

Glad you enjoyed it Naina!

Happy Cupcaking,

Aikko
