Designing and Decorating Firework Cupcakes

To design the cupcakes for bonfire night I first collected pictures of fireworks and did drawings of these in my scrap book.

I then looked at all the decorating icings that I had and started to plan how I would do the cupcakes. For some I chose dark icing as a background to represent the night sky. I wanted to use shiny balls to represent the firework explosion.


I used the basic cupcake recipe of;

6 oz--175gm self-raising flour

4oz--110gm butter or margarine

4oz-110gm castor sugar

2 tablespoons of milk

Method

Beat the butter and sugar together, add the eggs and beat in each one fully, add the flour using a sieve and add the milk. Place in cupcake cases and bake in the oven gas 5, 190C or 375F for 12 to 15 mins. Cool
