One-Egg COR Mini Butter Cupcake

Happy Y2025 New Year to everyone 😀😀😀🎈🎶🎉

I began baking my first cake for Year 2025 with nine mini butter cupcakes flavoured by vanilla, dried flowers of chrysanthemum , osmanthus, and French rose. The osmanthus flowers seemed to dominate the fragrance, while the tiny rose petals were just for visual pleasure.
