Port Luck Gathering - Marble Strawberry Yogurt Cupcakes

Last Sunday (05.08.2012), we had a port luck gathering at a friend's condo. They have a nice swimming pool with resorts atmosphere. We had many varieties of food since everyone of us bringing our own food. As usual, myself is making the dessert and my contribution will be the Marble Strawberry Yogurt Cupcakes.

I modified the recipe from one of the blogger (http://anglecookbakelove.blogspot.sg) and here you go.
