or click the button below to enlarge all text
-
Heat the oven to 180°C, 160°C fan, gas 4. Line a cup cake tin with 12 paper cupcake cases.
-
Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs a little at a time until smooth, adding a little flour if the mixture curdles.
- Stir in the flour, baking powder and orange zest until smooth
- Place heaped dessertspoon full in each cupcake case and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and just firm to the touch.
- For the frosting: sift the royal icing sugar into a bowl and beat in just enough water until smooth and thick.
- Divide the mixture into smaller bowls and stir a few drops of your chosen food colouring into each bowl, leaving 1 bowl white.
- Spoon the icing onto the cool cakes and spread to give a smooth coating.
-
Roll out the brown sugarpaste and cut out figure shapes with a small gingerbread man cutter. Use the scraps to make \'bun\' shapes. Attach to the cakes before the icing sets.
- Roll out the white sugarpaste and cut out stars, snowflakes, candy canes and icing for the sugarpaste \'buns\'. Attach to the cakes before the icing sets.
- Cut small pieces of liquorice for the gingerbread men \'eyes\' and \'mouths\'. Brush the candy canes with stripes of red food colouring. Attach the sweets to the remaining cupcakes.
