In a practical sense, I wanted to differentiate the vanilla custard filled vanilla & sesame cupcakes from those filled with green tea custard. So what better way aside from sticking your finger inside (so lacking decorum but fun) than to give the cupcake an entirely different look. So instead of Pandas to signify the Green tea custard, I used Bears to signify Vanilla. I do realise that a filling such as honey would have been more appropriate but I had to work with what I had. So using the same directions as on my Panda cupcakes with some rejigging of the decorations (described in the story), I present my family of Bears. A Sesame bean with vanilla bean custard filling, just in time for the April Master Baker challenge!

They are so sweet, interesting with sesame.
Hi Amelita-Thanks! I tried to make the expressions “sweet”. I think they look a bit sweeter than the pandas actually
so cute, and with adorable little heart-shaped noses!
Hi Steph-I’m so glad you noticed that they were heart shaped!
I was going to make little round pink noses but when in doubt, go with a heart! 
These are so lovely!
Hi Patricia-Thankyou so much!
Hi there, Could you tell me where you sourced the little paper souffle cups from. I make alot of cupcakes for birthdays and have been looking for them everywhere
Hi snoopz-I bought them from a place called Kent paper in Sydney. You can also get them from http://www.cakedeco.com.au
These are very cute too! Were they moist cupcakes and did your husband like these? I had one of my questions answered (reading the other comments and answers) - re: sourcing the lovely paper baking cups you use. For some reason, these cups make the cupcakes look more delicious than the crinkle-variety cups!
Hi Maria-He really liked them as they were mostly custard-I wanted to make them like a beard papa or puffy puff and knew he’d like that
Yes the paper cups are very sought after-pity they’re so hard to find!
Thanks for the tip about where to find the baking cups. The web address you provided was perfect as they sell and deliver online and are in melbourne city where my husband works, so if I need something in a hurry, I just get him to go in and pick it up. Will let you know how the cupcakes I’m making turn out after my daughter’s 6th birthday party with her friends (6 & 7 year olds are the toughest critics). Fingers crossed all goes well. Is there anyway I can send a photo for you to see?
Hi snoopz-that’s great, I’m glad to hear that it’s convenient for you. Well if you pass the 6 -7 year old test you know that they’re brilliant!
I’d definitely love to see pics, you can email me on info[AT]notquitenigella[dot]com (replacing the at and dot appropriately).
