Happy Easter everyone!
Easter is the perfect excuse for exciting baking! I have been trawling through pinterest for weeks to help inspire me for my Easter Bakes! I decided upon some cupcakes in yellow icing, a colour very fitting for Spring and some nest ones! I am also in the process of making a Easter Cake and I shall post that tomorrow hopefully!
So here are my cakes
The recipe I used was:
4oz Caster Sugar
4oz Margarine
4oz Flour
2 eggs
1 tsp of baking powder
Yellow food colouring
I simply mixed the sugar and butter together until it was creamed, then slowly added in the eggs and flour and baking powder, then once this had all mixed put in some food colouring, for that extra easter touch!
I then baked them for around 20 minutes, or until they spring when touched!
I left them to cool and made my icing, which was buttercream and added in some food colouring. I don't tend to follow a recipe for buttercream icing, but a guide i use it to have twice as much icing sugar as butter. I mix the butter first then add in the icing sugar and sometimes need a little more until its gone fairly stiff. Another tip I would recommend is putting the icing in the fridge for around 10 minutes to give a little more stiffness, which will help you to achieve the peaks when icing and makes the icing a little less sloppy.
I had made the little flower decorations earlier in the day! They are quite simple and I use sugarcraft tools such as stencils and stamps which are very cheap to pick up on amazon!
I then decorated them with a piping bag and two different piping nozzles and decorated with a bit of glitter and the flowers and mini eggs!
I hope you enjoy the cakes and have a go yourself! Check out pinterest for inspiration and I wish you all a happy Easter!
