It tasted good. Sweet and fluffy. Slightly on the sweet side for me. I would reduce the caster sugar to either 100gm or 110gm. Especially if you intend to put buttercream on top. My eggs were about 60gm=2 eggs. I didn't have blue colouring. So I kept one mixture in the original colour-cream. I prefer 5 to 6 colours as it would make the cupcake more colourful. It's a simple recipe to follow.
