Steamed Mango Muffin

The life of a food blogger is indeed laborious and challenging but fun. First, you have to get the food prepared right, then you have to get the recipe flawless and finally you have to shoot pictures that are good enough to make people drool ;) !!!! lol !!! 
Today I managed to take some decent pictures (I think...) and I published one on Facebook before actually posting the recipe, just to make everyone guess what was coming up. It was real fun to read the comments and I think the pumpkin liners really confused some :)
