I teach 4 year olds and they always love the day we make Iced Cupcakes, the cupcakes recipe is very easy to follow all the kids need to do it place the ingredients into a bowl and mix, put into the paper liners and decorate when cooked.

To Decorate use Sugar strands, hundreds and thousands, sugared flowers and other cake decorations you like to put on.



Makes 20

150g/5 oz self-raising flour

100g/4 oz soft tub margarine

100g/4 oz caster sugar

2 eggs

2-3 drops of vanilla essence

For icing and decoration

225g/8 oz vanilla-flavoured glace icing
pink, blue, yellow and orange food colourings.


Heat the oven to 180 degrees/ gas 4.

Stand 20 paper cup cake cases in bun tins.

Mix the vanilla, margarine, sugar,eggs and flour together.

Divide the mixture between the paper cases.

Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 mins or until done. Remove from tins and cool.

Divide the icing into five portions. and decorate how you want.
