♥ BLOGMAS - Day Four - Christmas Cupcakes ♥

Hello lovelies!



Today I am going to be teaching you how to make Christmas Cupcakes!

To tell you the truth, they are normal cupcakes, but I have added a twist to them to make them feel extr Christmassy!


All you need is...

6oz butter
7.5oz self raising flour
7.5oz caster sugar
2 tablespoons milk
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE BUTTER ICING

4oz butter
8oz icing sugar

TO TOP

Whole Nutmeg
Christmassy Cake Toppings
(I chose gingerbread men!)



METHOD:

Mix all of your ingredients together, starting with the butter and caster sugar. 




Then mix half of your flour in with the butter cream


Then add your eggs


Add the rest of the flour, and mix


Then add your vanilla extract and milk


 Begin to put the mixture into the cases



Bake for about 20 minutes or until you can press the top of the cake and the sponge bounces back.




ICING

Now mix together your butter and icing sugar.





Using a metal spatula, spread the butter icing onto the cupcakes.
Do these to all the cakes.




Now grab your decorations and nutmeg.



Get the Nutmeg, and a grater and gently grate some nutmeg onto the icing.



Then place your gingerbread men, or whatever decoration you have chosen, onto your cakes.



And there you have it! 

Ta da! 







I hope you have enjoyed this (late!) blogpost on these yummy Christmas Cupcakes!


Make sure to try these out yourself because they are super duper amazing!
