Welcome to Wicked Wednesday,  Wednesdays will be dedicated to sweet indulgences, because we all need a treat now and then.

Given we are in Christmas season, today's sweet indulgence is Vanilla Cup Cakes topped with butter cream icing,  sparkles and a Christmas snow flake cup cake topper (soon available in our store).

These are simple to make and look great, Enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 12 Vanilla Cup Cakes - use your favourite recipe
• 125g softened butter
• 1 1/2 cups icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 2 Tbls milk
• Food colour - I've used Wilton icing colour in Royal Blue (sparingly) 
• Sparkles - I've used Wilton cake sparkles in white

Method:

1. Make the cup cakes.
2. Beat the butter and sugar together until soft and fluffy.
3. Add vanilla and 1/2 the milk
4. The mixture should be quite thick so it can be piped, add more milk if required
5. Add the food colour a small amount at a time and mix well until you reach the desired colour
6. Using a piping bag and star nozzle pipe the icing in a circle motion
7. Sprinkle with sparkles
8. Add cup cake topper
9. Enjoy
