  Recipe for the cupcakes:

 250 g butter
250g caster sugar
4 eggs
250 grams self-raising flour
2 tsp of vanilla essence

 Method:
Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. 
Gradually beat in the eggs and add vanilla. Sieve the flour over the mixture and fold in gently using a metal spoon.  
Grease your patty pan tray, and place your paper patty pans and spray them lightly with cooking oil spray.
Spoon the cake mixture into the cases.
Bake in a moderate oven (180 C/350 F) for 15-20 minutes.
Turn out of the baking tray and then cool on a wire tray before you decorate.

Butter Icing

75g  butter
225g icing sugar(sieved)
2tbsps milk
food colouring

 Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until well mixed.


Practice piping your frosting on a plate, this will give you a great head start before you start decorating your cupcakes......you don't want crumbs on your frosting right?
