Jaffa CupCakes!

More of our Favourite snacks turned into a Cupcake!!!!
Yummy!

Inside.
I did a basic 12 Vanilla Cupcake recipe:
125g Butter
125g Sugar
2 Eggs
125g Self Raising Flour
1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
  • Beat Butter and Sugar together til soft and fluffy, add the 60g of the flour and 1 egg and then add the other 65g of the flour and the remaining egg.
  • Add the tsp of Vanilla and put the mixture in Paper Cases and bake for 11 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
I made a batch of Buttercream to the ratio of usually 1:2 Butter to Icing Sugar (more can be added to your taste.)
I split the batch into two and added 3 tbsp of Cocoa Powder to one and 1 tsp of Orange juice or Orange extract to the other (Orange food colouring is optional)
Put the Orange Buttercream into a piping bag with a Wilton 230 Nozzle and piped some Buttercream into the middle. I added a dollop of Chocolate Buttercream to the top and smoothed it out.
To top off I sliced up some Jaffa Cakes and sprinkled on.

Fondant Animals for a Birthday Cake

Sorry for not updating in a while, I've been baking but not anything worth putting up on here, plus been busy recently in College but I do hope to have some more recipes and pictures up soon
My cousin is turning 5 in January and he wants a Safari cake so I made him some animals for his cake, these are a few so far.
