    Aunty,

    Did you try this receipe from Kevin Chai's latest book on cupcakes & muffins? I was hestitating whether to invest in it as I wasn't sure of the accuracy of the recipes.

    Hi Aunty,
    How do you bake your cupcake? In the muffin tray or muffin cup (those rubber-type material come in individual cup). Reason am asking is my cupcake always end up wide on the top and the paper cup liner usually will open up instead of nice tall "slimmer" cupcake.

    Hope you can solve my mystery...

    Hi cyndi,

    I used a muffin tray to bake my cupcakes. Maybe your muffin recipe has too much oil.

    Yochana,
    i happen to have some black & white sesame seeds. if i were to place it in the oven to roast it, or should i fry it briefly in pan?
    and for how long would you say is considered roasted condition?

    Hi Yan,

    Tips for frying black sesame seeds:

    Throw some white sessame to fry them and when it turns golden brown, then it's ready. It's the same if you roast it in the oven.
    Both methods can be used.
