I’m adding this recipe so late in the day as they really are simple to rustle up, if you have the time, and look utterly darling on the table. It’s really cool to have recipes and ideas such as this up your sleeve, so to speak, as if you really love to make guests feel welcome and go OTT at this time of year these cupcakes will act as an accessory and help you in this and are great with a cup of tea if you’re sick of mince pies.

Here is a weight conversion chart

Pre-heat oven to 200c

• Start by measuring out the sugar and the butter and blend either in a food mixer or by hand in a large bowl until smooth and creamy
• Add the eggs, vanilla and milk and then sift in the flour
• Mix together until blended
• Start arranging your silver cake cases on a baking tray, leaving around and inch between each case as the mixture will grow and start to spread out in the cases when baking, (you will probably need two good sized baking trays for the whole batch but if you have just one tray, you will need to bake the cakes in two batches.)
• Using a teaspoon, spoon the cake mixture into the cake cases filling each one until it is around a third full
• Place the tray into the oven and bake for around 15-20mins until the cakes are a light golden brown or are not wet and middle
• Allow the cakes to cool completely once removed from the oven before you start to ice them
• I always use a lot of icing, probably more than I need to, as I like my icing to be good and thick as I find this way it settles on the cakes better
• Mix the icing sugar and a couple of drops of the baby blue food colouring together with a small amount of water until you have mixed the icing to your required thickness
• Spread the icing evenly over the top of the cakes so it settles flat and in line with the rim of the cake cases

Tip: If the cakes have risen too much in the middle when being baked and do not have a flat top, you can always use a sharp knife and cut the tip of the cake off. This will allow the icing to settle flat giving your cupcakes that shop bought look.

• Whilst the icing is still wet, decorate the tops of your cakes with the snow flake decorations, this will allow the decorations to set inside the icing as it dries
• Place the cakes on a tray in put them in the fridge to set for around 30 minutes until the icing is firm to the touch
• Serve on a pretty cake stand to friends and family

Have a great day
