So last week the baking bug bite and I decided to make these bad boys! :)
Heres the recepie I used-
Ingredients:
Cupcake mix (makes 6 medium cupcakes)
50g Self raising flour
50g Caster sugar (superfine)
50g Butter or margarine
1 Egg
Butter Frosting:
250g unsalted butter
300g icing sugar
Sprinkle of vanilla
Milk – no more than 4 tablespoons
Blue food colouring
Extra's:
Cookies (any brand)
White Chocolate Buttons
Choc Chips.
Cupcake Sponge Recipe:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (Electric oven | Electric fan oven 160°C | Gas Mark 4) and place paper cases into a muffin tin
- Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Add in the egg, beating it well
- Fold in the flour
- Bake in the oven for 10 – 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if the cupcakes are ready by inserting a cocktail stick into one of the cupcakes. If it comes out dry then the cupcakes are done. If not, pop the cakes back in the oven for a few more minutes. Lift the cupcakes out of the muffin tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Mix the unsalted butter, icing sugar and vanilla
- Add the tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time and stir in well
- Whisk for 10 minutes
- Take out 4-5 tablespoons of the mixture and keep in a separate bowl
- Add the blue food colouring to the remaining mixture. Stir well.
- Add the cookies by halving and wedging carefully onto frosting.
- Stick white chocolate buttons on top
- Add choc chips to buttons for eyes.
