How to make Union Jack Cupcakes

or click the button below to enlarge all text
-
For the cakes: preheat the oven to 200°C, fan oven 180°C, 400°F, gas mark 6. Line 2 x 12-hole muffin tray with the paper cases of your choice.
-
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and add the sugar. Beat together, preferably with an electric whisk until the mixture is wonderfully light and fluffy. This can take up to 5-7 minutes, so this stage should not be rushed.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, with a spoonful of the flour with each one to prevent the mixture from curdling. Fold in the remaining flour with a metal spoon until you have a soft, smooth cake batter.
- Divide the mixture between the paper cases filling only to half the height.
- Place in the oven and bake in the oven for about 12 – 15 minutes minutes, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently with a finger and are pale golden in colour.
-
Cool the cakes on a wire cooling rack. Wrap in cling film to keep for up to a day in a cool dry place. If you want to make the cupcakes in advance – wrap and freeze.
- To decorate: Mix together 200g Silver Spoon Fondant Icing sugar. Add water a tsp at a time until the icing has a smooth consistency that will cover the back of spoon. Brush the cakes with a little melted apricot jam. Spoon a little icing onto each cup cakes and by turning the cakes round gently the icing should flow gently to the edge of the cup cakes. Let the icing set firmly.
- Using either any left over coloured Fondant icing or Silver Spoon Cakecraft designer icing and writing icing decorate the cupcakes using the union jack flag as a guide.
