Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

- Place 12 paper cupcake cases into a muffin tin and divide the mixture between them.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
- For the frosting: In a mixing bowl beat the butter with a spoon or spatula until smooth, then start to sift in the icing sugar, stirring regularly. Add the vanilla extract and milk. The frosting should be light and creamy.
- Mix your chosen food colouring into the icing to give an even colour.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spoon or pipe the icing onto your cupcakes and finish with your chosen decorations. Then allow to set for at least 30 minutes.
