Birthday cupcakes for the hubby

Order these from Evan, whose blog you can access from the right of my site under "Evan's Kitchen Ramblings". She has recently started her home based baking business and cos all her pics look so....good, i wanted to try some of her wares! She was very nice and accomodating to all my requests, from making a mega cupcake to travelling all the way from the north to the west to pass me the cakes.

Anyway, these are Carrot Walnut Cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting! My all time favourite!!! The hubby doesn't really eat cakes, so you know these were actually more for me than him. There were 9 regular size cupcakes and 1 mega one. The hubby ate only 1 mouthfull from the mega cupcake and 1 regular size. I would have love to finish the rest all by myself.... seriously....what better time to indugle than during pregnancy rite?
But nope..a trip to the gynae got my hubby watching my sugar intake like a hawk. No...I am not at risk of gestation diabetics (at least not yet) but I put on 1.5kg within 3 weeks. Needless to say, the doc wasn't too happy with me, gave a list of instructions, sugar intake being the most important on his list. So sobz...4 of these cupcakes went to my in laws...I only got to eat the remaining 4 cos I was smart enough to sneak into the kitchen when hubby was buzy, and packed the lovely cakes into a small, discreet looking tupperwear and stuff it right at the back of the fridge. kekeke....i later smuggled them to my office to enjoy with a cup of coffee...

Oh..btw, the cupcakes were moist and full of flavour with nice nutty bites of walnut! The generous topping of cream cheese was very much appreciated...a pregnant woman needs her calcium! ;-)
