Prep time: 15 mins

Bake time: 20 mins

What You’ll Need:

  • Dr. Oetker Cupcake Cases
  • 125g unsalted butter
  • 125g caster sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1tsp Dr. Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Extract
  • 100g self raising flour
  • 75g ground almonds
  • 75ml milk
  • 2tsp of raspberry or apricot jam
  • 1 pack of Dr. Oetker Regal-Ice Ready To Roll Icing Coloured
  • Dr. Oetker Chocolatey Strands

What To Do:

  • Preheat oven to 180C. Mix the butter, a pinch of salt and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy
  • Beat in eggs one at a time and add Vanilla Extract. Gently fold in the flour & ground almonds, add the milk and fill 12 cupcake cases with the finished mixture
  • Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, take them out and leave until they’re too cool for school. Warm jam in the microwave for 10 – 20 seconds, then spread on top of cupcakes
  • Roll Icing to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use 100g of yellow, 100g of red plus 40g of black. Use a cutter to make icing discs (you need 5 yellow, 5 red and 2 black) and arrange on top of cupcakes
  • Wipe black cupcakes with a damp cloth and sprinkle Chocolatey Strands on top. Arrange your cupcakes with a black one in the middle, surrounded by five coloured ones
  • Roll most of the green Icing, creating stalks for your flowers. Then roll out the remaining icing to create leaves, arranging them on either side of your stalks
