Cupcakes

Today, my sister just finished her examinations and decided to make cupcakes. Now, i'm not trying to take some credit here but i did help with the icing :) And may i say, my designs were very creative.

Recipe
Cupcake ingredients:
- 1cup castor sugar
-100grams/ 3.5 ounces butter
-1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups self-raising flour
-1 cup milk
 Icing Ingredients:
 - 1 cup icing sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons water
- food colouring
- sprinkles and little sweets

 Directions:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius. Beat sugar and butter together until fluffy. Add vanilla essence and eggs and beat well. Mix in sifted flour and milk. Add more milk if the mixture is too dry. Line cupcake pans with the paper cases, fill each case 3/4 full and bake for about 15 minutes or till golden in colour. Cool on a cake rack. 
To make the icing, beat together icing sugar, butter and water. Add a few drops of food colouring. When the cupcakes are completely full, spread the icing with a knife. Decorate with coloured sprinkles or little sweets.

And there you go :) Cupcakes
