Beary Steam Cake

Here we go as we google for more cute baking, we ended up steaming the cake.
Is cute and innovative for such a cute beary face on the steam cup, but honestly I have to admit that steam cake is not our cup of tea either.
Nevertheless after viewing most of the Facebook users doing this, I decide to go ahead.

This is incorporated by one of the blogger,Angela Chia.

 Ingredients:...- 180g plain flour- 180g fine sugar- 6 eggs (room temperature)- brown coloring- red coloring

1) Beat eggs n sugar till light and fluffy. Add in the sifted flour.
2) Scoop 1 tbs of the batter into a piping bag. Snip a small hole and set aside.
3) Scoop 8 tbs of the batter into another piping bag, add in the brown coloring to achieve the desired shade and mix well. Snip a small hole and set aside.
4) Add red coloring to the rest of the batter and mix well.
5) Line paper cups in the muffin tray. Fill the cups 3/4 full with the pink batter. Using the brown batter, draw a 'T' starting from the middle. Fill the top half with the brown batter and draw dots on the bottom. Using the white batter, make two dots on the upper brown portion. Lastly, make a dot in the white dot using brown batter.
6) Bring water to boil and lower cakes into pot or pan. Steam under medium heat for 15 minutes.

I tried making the ladybugs and also the Beary cupcake.
To me, is really cute but with the recipes, maybe because I have sweet tooths, the steam cake don't taste nice like our Huat Kueh which you can buy in the market.

Probably because the Huat Kueh consist brown sugar?

Anyway, I take it as a lesson to play some crafts on deco with my girl.

Look Cute isnt it... If I know, the next round I prefer to do by adding flavour such as Vanilla and coffee. 
Let's see again since only 2 were ate and I verdicted the favours are just not there.
