Cupcakes




















The original recipe had different icing and decorations then what i used . 
At the end of the recipe you will find what i did with them, you can play how ever you want :).

Makes 12
Cake tin needed:
  • a 12-hole muffin tin

Ingredients:
  • 100gr (4oz) butter, softened
  • 150gr (5oz) self-raising flour
  • 150gr (5 oz) caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 vanilla extract
For the butter icing:
  • 100gr (4oz) butter, softened
  • 225gr (8oz) sifted icing sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
To decorate:
  • plain or white chocolate curls or shavings
  • silver hearts
  • silver balls
  • other colored sweets
Step One
 Preheat the oven to 180 C/160C/4 gas. Put the muffin cases into the muffin tin, so that the cakes keep a good even shape as they bake.
Step Two
 Measure all the cupcakes ingredients into a large bowl and beat until blended and smooth. Spoon evenly between the paper cases.
Step Three
 Bake for 20-25 min or until risen and golden brow. Lift the paper cases out of the tin and cool the cakes on a wire rack until completely cold before icing.
Step Four
 To make the butter icing, beat together all the icing ingredients to give a creamy thick icing, then smooth over the cold cupcakes. If decorating with chocolate curls, allow the chocolate bar to reach room temperature then shave using a vegetable peeler.





I cut the middle of the cupcakes with a apple corer like this 
I used a chocolate topping:melted 75 ml cream mix with 100 gr chocolate chips. Let the topping some minutes to cool down then put in the holes you made.
