This past weekend, we went to a pot luck for my husband's Karate sensei. Since I love black sesame so much, I thought black sesame cupcakes would be pretty fitting since black sesame is used in a lot of Japanese pastries. For those who aren't familiar, black sesame has a mild nutty flavor. I also roasted it so it was a toasty nutty flavor.
I made black sesame cupcake with black sesame buttercream, and topped it with crushed black sesame cookie that I bought from T&T.
