[poppypoppet123]

does anyone have a nice and easy cupcake recipe, looking for one for dd birthday would like a nice frosting or something for the top can anyone help please.

Aw, I thought you were offering them!

I was going to say, yes please, I'll put the kettle on!

Cupcakes: 4oz each of butter, caster sugar and sr flour. 2 eggs. Flavouring of choice. Multiply to suit number of guests.

Melted mars bars recipe is what I use. Mix the butter and sugar until creamy then mix in eggs then add flour. A drop of vanilla extract is nice. Bake in oven at 180C until they spring back when you touch them - probably about 12-15 mins.

Then for buttercream do 125g softened butter and 250g icing sugar. Start to mix then add 2tsp boiling water to finish it off. Colour as you want and then spread on top of the cakes. Get some nice bits to put on top - I did pink buttercream and crystallised rose petals teh other day, or silver balls or hundreds and thousnads are also nice, and you can go with pastel colours or bright colours as you wish. You can flavour the buttercream too if you wish - squeeze of lemon or lime juice for example, or some vanilla extract. Add a little at a time and keep tasting basically.

If you have too much buttercream it freezes pretty well (can keep for 3 months)

Jelly tots look good on cupcakes, and dolly mixtures. Smarties colour-run.

Megonthemoon: we never have to much icing: the excess gets iced directly onto stuck-out tongues!

thank you going to the shops now to get my ingredients will give them a whirl before the day arrives thank you again
