Chestnut cupcakes prepared as a gift for the next day

A batch of shibukawani that had not turned out as hoped found another use in cupcakes. Haruru mixed in plenty of the frozen chestnuts, preparing the cakes as a gift she planned to take the following day.

From haruru.1002’s past accounts.

Giving the chestnuts another use

A gift planned, and another batch to try

She prepared the cupcakes intending to take them as a gift the next day. Another delivery of chestnuts was expected, and she was looking forward to trying shibukawani again.
