Preheat the oven to 190°C, Gas 5, and line a 12 bun muffin tin with muffin cases.
Using a hand held electric whisk or freestanding mixer mix the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and salt on a low speed until it is the texture of breadcrumbs
Put the eggs in a jug and whisk by hand. Add the milk and vanilla and mix together
Pour ¾ of the milk mixture into the dry ingredients & mix on low speed, then mix on a medium speed until smooth & thick
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until ½ full.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until risen and springy to the touch.
Leave to cool slightly and then place on a wire rack
To make the frosting mix the icing sugar and water by hand to form a paste, then add the butter, mixing slowly, then increase the speed to high and whisk until soft & fluffy
Top the cooled cupcakes with frosting using a palette knife.
Sprinkle each cupcake with strawberry buttons. You can melt these buttons according to the instructions on the pack, then drizzle over the frosted cakes

"Found this recipe a bit odd to mix dry ingredients into breadcrumbs first. I added some fresh strawberry puree to the mixture. Instead of using strawberry flavour icing I made some butter icing with strawberry puree added. Even my husband loved them & he's not a fan of cupcakes!"
