2 different food colourings Vanilla essence
Method! ~ all in one method!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, 180 degrees C or gas mark 4:)
- Once you have all of your ingredients measured put them into a mixing bowl and mix them until a nice yellow sticky mixture is left:)
- Then split the mixture into two different bowls so you can add the food colouring!
- either grease the cupcake tray or place the cases into it.
- Add one colour of the mixture into all of the cases, leaving some of the mixture if possible:)
- Then put the other colour mixture on top of the first mixture!
- If you have any of the first colour mixture left, you can place it on top of the mixture.
- Place it into the oven and leave for around 15-20 minutes(longer if necessary).
- To check if the cupcakes are finished get a metal skewer and put it through the cupcake all the way to the center, If the skewer comes out with any uncooked mixture then the cupcakes are not ready, when it comes out clean they are ready!:)
- Leave the cupcakes to cool on a wire tray while you make the icing:)
- Put some of the icing sugar into a bowl with a drop or two of food colouring and a drop of vanilla essence.
- Carefully add teaspoons of water until the icing firm yet capable of moving with ease:)
- Decorate the cupcakes with as much icing as you like!:)
Bon appétit!:)
