They sure look pretty. I can't say it's something I might attempt right yet, but I won't rule it out. The other thing is that I would have to research semolina flour. It's the first time I am seeing this type of flour mentioned. Of course that would not stop me trying this if I ever had to attempt this.

Ahh. I apologise for that. I have no idea how I left that off. It seems its too late to edit it now anyway. I really did make this recipe though. And I found it delicious and refreshing with a cup of tea. Thanks @morning glory for providing the source.

Cupcakes looks so delicious. I would love to try this recipe. Usually I order from wholesale cheesecake suppliers via online websites since I mess up a lot while baking but this time I might take help of my Mom.
