Firstly I made the vanilla cupcakes
Ingredients (12 cupcakes)
175g self raising flour
125g softened butter
175g caster sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbs milk
Method
-Preheat the oven to 170 °C and place cupcake cases on a baking tray.
-Use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and the sugar until it is pale, light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the eggs a little at a time followed by the vanilla.
-Sift the flour into a bowl and gradually add to the mixture folding in gently with a metal spoon. Add a little of the milk after each addition of flour.
-Using a spoon or ice-cream scoop divide the mix between the 12 cupcake cases. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden on top and a skewer placed into the middle of the cupcake comes out clean. Let them cool completely on a wire rack or plate before decorating.

So here are the decorated cakes:
I also did some other simpler cupcakes. This was my first time swirling icing, I think I need some practise.
