My Very Own "Mango-filled Cupcake with Mango Buttercream"

This time no Anna Olson, no William Sonoma, no Nigella, no Jamie, no Good Housekeeping, no cookbook.. nuh-uh. This is my 'all mine recipe'.

Have always wanted to make my own cake or cupcake from scratch but afraid to try as I did not go to any culinary school or baking classes and have no idea on the ratio of dry and wet ingredients.  Then finally, due to desperation in looking for a 'retirement' plan, I decided to don the apron and challenge myself to come up with a signature recipe where I can start my own cupcake or baking business.  Although retirement is not happening anytime soon, there's no harm in planning.  I can however turn to floristry or teach the art of floral arrangement as I'm a qualified florist.  Actually have been doing part-time florist for the past 10 years and it's a lucrative one if you have a steady demand. But due to delivery challenges, decided to put it in the back seat for a while.  Not to mention, baking has always been my passion and to venture that into business has always been creeping at the back of my mind.

So, last night took out the pen and notebook and start writing down the recipe and the ingredients and flavors that I think will make a perfect match.  I also wanted to use local fruits which I can easily get all year round (if I have demand for my bake, that is..akkakkkkaa) and I love my cupcakes to be different from the ones you can get from the bakery or cafes.  I like mine to have a little treasure in it and a unique taste to it.  Here, I used all fresh ingredients, no food coloring what so ever!

However, sorry guys, not sharing the recipe as yet, as I want to make this really special and only me can bake this... selfish, huh..muahahhahaha....If you are thinking of what you gonna do after retirement then you will not blame me for being selfish right?  Anyway, if you really want to taste this, you know what to do..wink! wink!.

This, is a success recipe!  That I can share with you!  Well, at least, my family say so..hehehe.. am waiting for my bro-in-law to taste it and to get his feedback though.  Take a peek at my creation. 
I'm glad I took the courage to try. Even if I failed, I think will try and try until I get it right.  Looks like I'm now thinking of the next flavor..hmm mmm..
