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

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

  6. Using a piping bag and star nozzle pipe the icing in a circle motion
  7. Sprinkle with sparkles
