Add in red colour to the rest of the batter, mix well. Pour into cupcakes mould by filling up around 70-80% ~

 ~Draw a cross on the cupcake and filled up the upper part by using the bamboo charcoal mixture...用竹炭的面糊来画上一个十在蛋糕上, 再把上面的部分图上颜色~

 ~this is the end result before steam...做好了...还没蒸熟的~

 ~蒸熟了..快来尝尝...Its cooked ... hurry up ..try one...^^

~What do you think of this result?....你晓的效果如何?...;)~

After that first time doing the ladybug cupcakes, I try again the second time. The first time I find that the head part colour is not that nice because I used dark brown. My sister suggest that I use bamboo charcoal so.... come again the second time..
This is when the new member comes in .... Ms Buzz Bee...look how sweet she is...:)
这是第二次再尝试做, 再做是因为晓得上次的头部颜色不够美. 上次用了巧克力色而这次就听了妹妹的建议用竹炭粉...也制造了个新成员..小蜜蜂妹妹...:p

**Tips to prevent failure in making the little cuppy ladybugs..
*Beat mixture till it is fluffy
*Do not use cup that is too narrow at the bottom ..mine is 4.5cm at the bottom and 7cm top
*Do not filled up to full, only 70-80% full
*Only use medium flame to steam if too high heat the cuppy will smile(crack) and also not too small flame or it will not rise...hahaha so ...:p
*Wish you have a go time and successful time making this ladybug cupcakes.
