BREAST CANCER AWARENESS CUPCAKES

Hey everyone,
So as you probably know by now because it's nearly the end of the month, October was Breast Cancer Awareness month. So inspired by this, i decided to make some very pink cupcakes!

The actual cupcake is very simple to make and i just used a basic recipe which i will include. Where the effort and fun really was is with the icing and decorating. I used frosting, pink sugar, Robert and Gordon wrappers and breast cancer sprinkles. All of these items were purchased from eBay.

Ingredients

200g unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 cup milk

Method
1. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven. Line muffin or mini-muffin pans with paper cases.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, vanilla and sugar in a small bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition (mixture will separate at this stage). Transfer mixture to a large bowl. Stir in half the flour. Stir in half the milk. Repeat with remaining flour and milk until combined.
3. For 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pans use 2 level tablespoons of mixture. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Alternatively, for 1 tablespoon-capacity mini muffin pans use 1 tablespoon mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
4. Stand cakes in pans for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
