Decorations are equally interesting and if you have time, this can be quite the hobby to pick up. There are so many different varieties and ways to decorate those little cupcakes.
I recommend to go to youtube and also on Instagram IGTV as there is quite a lot to learn on the art of piping. It does look so easy on screen… a little more challenging if you want it to look professional. Practice makes perfect. Stay tuned for buttercream recipes.
INGREDIENTS – VERSION I
250 Gr. Butter melted – 1 Cup
250 Gr. Caster sugar – 1 Cup
4 Eggs at room temperature
250 Gr. Self raising flour – 1 Cup
1 Teaspoon Vanilla essence
INGREDIENTS – VERSION II
125 Gr. Self Raising flour – 1/2 Cup
125 Gr. Caster Sugar – 1/2 Cup
1/4 Teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
125 Gr. Butter – 1/2 Cup
2 Large Eggs
1.5 Tablespoon Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
Using a stand mixer with paddle attachment, mix the butter with the sugar at medium low speed, until the sugar has almost melted. At this stage, increase the speed to medium and whisk everything for 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs 1 at a time until fully incorporated. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the flour in two halves and finally add the vanilla essence.
Preheat your oven at 170 Celsius – 350 Fahrenheit
Fill your cupcake pan with cupcake papers and using an ice cream scoop to 3/4
Bake for 12 minutes, until golden brown.
The Perfect Buttercream Recipe
340 Gr. Icing Sugar – 1 Cup
170 Gr. Salted Butter – 1/2 Cup
2 tablespoons Milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
Color as desired
TIP DU JOUR : Buttercream freezes well, so don’t worry if you think you’ve made too much.
The same with Cupcakes; keep them in the freezer and you have dessert ready in minutes. No buttercream, no problem; simply dust icing sugar or cocoa powder and you have a lovely dessert ready in minutes.

Hello Myrna ! How are you ? 104th Birthday ! Godbless ! Looks like you inherited the family genes as well ! We are well in our 3rd lockdown … it feels like we will never get out of it. They are just starting to vaccinate 65 years old and above…Red wine my dear.
I translated quantities into Imperial system – Sugar is the regular sugar –
For the buttercream, use powder/icing sugar… good luck – send us a pick ! Cheers XXX Frenchy Beauchamp
