BLACK SESAME CUPCAKES AND MATCHA CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
A spin of the classic black sesame and matcha pairing. These black sesame cupcakes with matcha cream frosting are a great alternative to the standard birthday treats.
In college, I made a ton of new friends and acquaintances. But after graduation, work, distance and life gets in the way and I lost touch with a lot of them. I may have a whole bunch of facebook friends, but I’m sure you can guess how many of those I consider friends in real life.
I’m very thankful for the friends I see and spend time with on a regular basis, especially the friends that are always willing to try my new recipes. The friends that think all my desserts are amazing and delicious– those friends are the greatest.
