Hey! Been as it is Halloween on Saturday, I thought I would show you some cute Halloween-inspired cupcakes you could make for a party or hand out to trick-or-treaters! Enjoy...
You will need 180g of self-raising flour, 180g of caster sugar, 180g of butter, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and green food colouring.
Mix together your butter and sugar so it is creamy (PS. how cute is my pumpkin!).
Add the eggs and stir together. Sieve in the flour with the baking powder and add the vanilla extract. The mixture should be creamy and easily-stirable!
Add as much green food colouring it takes for your mixture to turn "slime-coloured" or until you are happy with the colour!
Put 12 cupcake cases into a tray (I stuck with the green theme) and put the mixture in equal amounts in the cases.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 20 minutes and cool on a rack.
To Make the butter cream, you will need 75g of butter and 175g of icing sugar.
Mix the butter and icing sugar together so it is creamy (all about the creaminess!).
I chose to add orange food-colouring to this as I think it is quite a Halloween-y colour! You could add green but I think the cakes now have a pumpkin-vibe!
Put a star-nozzle onto a piping bag and spoon your icing into it. Starting in the middle of each cake, pipe a swirl which ends in a small flick at the top.
For a finishing touch, you could add sprinkles which look pretty and are also a great treat instead of a trick!
Thats it!
I hope you enjoyed this Halloween post and let me know if you have a go at making these!
There will be a new post on Sunday.
Love, BethanyBea X
