Wish you all a very happy Independence day!! Cupcakes are favorite of all the kids so sharing this tricolor cupcake recipe to celebrate the Indian Independence day. The three different types of cupcakes are made with carrot, vanilla and green tea to get the color. Baking and decorating cakes are in itself is an art. To bake a perfect moist cake you need to have right ingredient and perfect baking time. I am an amateur in baking and has been practicing to bake a good cake.
