I made these with my boyfriend Luke today. I just used the recipe for basic vanilla cup cakes which you can find here. For the frosting I actually used fresh raspberries rather than flavouring, but I used too many & couldn't get the frosting the right consistency to pipe! I did pipe it..but it kind of fell down so it just looks spread on! Oh well, live & learn!
Raspberry Frosting:
1/2 cup of raspberries
170g (6oz) butter
600g (12oz) icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1) Cream butter & icing sugar
2) Mash raspberries through a sieve to get a smooth puree (you can just blend them in a mixer if you want the seeds in..this does look quite pretty & I may try this next time)
3) Add vanilla extract
4) Gradually mix in the raspberry mixture.. I say gradually because you don't want to add too much & make the frosting too runny!
I added a few pink glitter sprinkles & some pink candy balls just for prettiness! They are very sweet & are actually really nice...just disappointed at the consistency!
