Kit Kat Cupcake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Raining season , gosh , imagine how many accidents happen during this period of time. Keeps me real busy with work now. I really do not wanna miss baking cupcakes , especially for Aspiring Bakers #13 this month . Since its a real busy month for me , I was thinking it might be a good idea if I could just bake something simple yet delicious . And ............. Kit Kat came to my mind ... Brilliant idea eh ... I am sure you will agree with this , especially my nephew Andrew.

Check out my first DIY cupcake wrapper... gorgeous isn't it ?  Well , I have no idea what makes me wanna make my own cupcake wrapper , but it does give me a kind of satisfaction . LOL....

I twisted a bit of the original recipe which calls for chopped dark chocolate. Instead, I add in chopped Kit Kat .. heehee.. Enjoy !!
