I want Pink & Blue Cupcakes Please Mama!




Ok my kiddo- whatever you say! 


Errr... Okay here goes! 


What you need:

Two medium Eggs
150g good Butter at room temperature
150g Caster Sugar
150g Sifted Self Raising Flour
Red & Blue Food Colouring
One Small Helper
One laissez faire attitude to your floor
Large Bar of Milk Chocolate & Sprinkles to Decorate


What to do: 



  • Go to the shop because it turns out you dont actually have Eggs or Butter. 
  • Ok now you can get started. (I divided the ingredients in half so that I could make Pink & Blue) 
  • Preheat your oven to 190C.
  • Using properly room temperature Butter (it needs to be so that you cant pick it up and have it hold its shape) beat in the sugar- REALLY BEAT IT!


  • Break the egg into a bowl and REALLY BEAT that too. 
  • Ask your helper to gradually add your beaten egg while you.. uh... REALLY BEAT the mixture!
  • Retrieve the bowl that the egg was in from the main mixing bowl after helper drops it in along with the egg. Add a few drops of your chosen colouring...REALLY BEAT the mixture some more! 
  • Carefully add the flour by sifting into the mixing bowl- gently fold in using a metal spoon.
  • Scoop into silicon cake cases & transfer to the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Marvel at how the silicon cake cases really dont melt.  
  • Clear enough space in the debris to cool the cakes. 





  • Melt the chocolate... develop 6 extra arms to keep your helper out of the chocolate.
  • Peel back the cases and dip into the chocolate



  • Then you can dunk in sprinkles or leave them nude
  • Allow the chocolate to set....


ENJOY!!
