Yummy and extremely professional looking cupcakes

Cupcakes are always yummy, and very easy to make. These are great because they aren't just easy and taste good, they look amazing too!

For the cakes:
  • 125g unsalted butter
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 125g plain flour
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence


For the icing:
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 100g icing sugar
  • 100g mascapone
  • 80g melted milk chocolate, cooled

Method for the cakes:
preheat the oven to 160°c
First cream the butter and the sugar. Then add the eggs and the vanilla essence and beat well. Then add the flour and the baking powder. Mix well. When it's all combined put into fairy cake cases. It should make 12, but 11 would be fine. put in the oven for 10-15 mins. Leave to cool completely before putting on the icing.

Method for the icing:
Beat the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the mascapone. Then the melted chocolate. Now pipe the icing onto the cool cakes. Enjoy!
