Vanilla cup cakes and a surprise meeting with a blogger

I made this cup cakes for a party at my

friend's place . I adopted this from

Joy of Baking.

And before going to the

recipe I like to share my sweet surprise

meeting with a blogger Sukanya Ramkumar

of Hot and sweet bowls . It was a get together

at one of my friend's place who I know in my daughter's

school.I was introduced to Sukanya and few other

friends . Since I already know Sukanya is also from

my city and our area I was in dilemma whether she would

be our blogger friend . And later on with the conversation

I asked her husband's name...the minute she spells out

I was more happy and the fun started from there.It was

a pleasant surprise to meet her without planning out.

And now to the recipe...
