Mini cup cakes were the highlight of the day. :)

I had got some cute looking mini muffin liners from Dubai and was pretty excited to use them while baking :)

Its just the same procedure that I followed to bake the cakes but reduced the cooking time to 13 mins.

They are literally bite sized and too cute :)

Hardly two cms tall muffins excited all of us at home :)

Instead of cherries, I used the sugar coated cumin sweet(Jeeraga mittai) on top of the cream to make the miniatures ;)

Small Wonder ;)
