top.

decorating.

RECIPES

Vanilla Cupcakes

Ingredients:

225g of good quality butter

225g of castor sugar

4 medium eggs

225g of self raising flour

½ Tbsp of natural vanilla extract

Method:

1. Separate the cake cases on to your work top.

2. Put the castor sugar, chopped up butter and vanilla into a food processor.

Then add the sieved flour.

3. Mix it all together for about 1 minute until all the ingredients are combined. A

hand held whisk can also be used to do this.

4. Then add the eggs one at a time and slowly mix until soft and creamy.

5. Cook the cupcakes for approximately 8 minutes or until they feel spongy and

firm.

6. Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.

Alternative Flavours:

Chocolate cupcakes: Use the Vanilla cupcake recipe but instead use 195g of flour and

30g of good quality cocoa powder.

Coffee cupcakes: Use the vanilla cupcake recipe and add 1 tbsp of instant coffee

dissolved in 1 tbsp of warm milk.

Marbled cupcakes: Make equal amounts of vanilla and chocolate mixture and fill the

piping bag with both. Squeeze into the cases in a circular motion to create swirls.

Lemon cupcakes: Substitute vanilla extract with lemon extract or alternatively the zest

of 1 lemon.

Simply Creamy Frosting

This can be used as a base for adding flavours or just delicious on its own.

Ingredients:

200g full-fat cream cheese at room temperature

100g soft unsalted butter

600g sieved icing sugar

Method:

1. It’s important to sieve the icing sugar first in order to produce a smooth frosting.

2. Add all the ingredients into a food processor and mix for about 1minute until

creamy and smooth.

3. For a creamier result leave mixture to rest in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

Tip: In order to produce a thicker mixture for producing swirls and shapes, slowly add a

little more icing sugar and mix until it’s at the desired consistency. Alternatively you can

add less to make is runnier.

Alternative Flavours:

Vanilla: Add 1 tsp of natural vanilla extract whilst mixing.

Chocolate: Melt 100g of good quality chocolate (preferably 72% cocoa). Allow the

chocolate to cool slightly and then slowly add to frosting mixture using a slow speed

setting on your processor.

Chocolate orange: Melt 100g of chocolate orange. Allow it to cool slightly and then

slowly mix it into the frosting mixture. You can also stir in some orange zest if you want a

stronger flavour.

Coffee: Mix in 1 tbsp of instant coffee that has been dissolved in 1 tbsp of warm milk.

Strawberry: Sieve 3 tbsp of strawberry jam and mix well into the frosting. You can add 1

drop of pink food colouring if desired.

Zesty Orange: Add the grated zest of one orange and mix.

Zesty Lemon: Add the grated zest of 1 lemon and mix.

Smooth orange or lemon: Substitute the fruit zest with either orange or lemon

essences.

Tip: If you are decorating using a piping bag try to avoid frostings with zest or bits in

them for a smoother swirl.

How to pipe frosting

Half fill a piping bag with the frosting and hold firmly at the top.

Flat plain swirls: Use a plain wide nozzle and slowly swirl icing from the middle into

increasing sized circles to the edge.

Pointy plain swirls: As above but start at the edge, circling towards the centre. Slightly

overlap the previous outward swirl and work the middle blob into a point.

Wide star swirl: Use a wide star nozzle and either pipe from the middle or the edge as

above. This looks attractive when starting a little further from the edge and swirling

towards the middle so the edge of the cake is still visible.

Tip: When using more than one flavour of frosting start with the lightest colour first e.g.

vanilla so you can reuse the bag with a darker colour. If you use a dark colour first it can

cause the lighter flavour to become discoloured.

Royal Icing

Ingredients:

1 medium egg white

225g sifted icing sugar

2-3 drops lemon juice

Method:

1. Beat the egg white until it is foamy.

2. Gradually beat in the icing sugar and lemon juice and continue beating until icing

is snowy white.

Cappuccino cupcakes

Ingredients:

1 batch chocolate cupcakes (see above)

1 batch simply creamy frosting divided into chocolate and coffee flavours chocolate

coated coffee beans

Method:

chocolate in one and ½ tsp of coffee mixed with a little warm milk into the other.

3. Add the chocolate frosting to a piping bag and pipe a large swirl on to the cakes

using the star nozzle.

4. Wash the piping bag thoroughly and dry. Then fill with coffee frosting and pipe a

smaller swirl in the centre of each cake.

5. Gently push in a few of the chocolate coated coffee beans into each cake.

6. Finish with a light dusting of cocoa powder.
