What you will need:
- 100g caster sugar
- 100g soft butter
- 100g self-rising flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- To make the icing:
- 200g soft butter
- 200g icing sugar
- Food colouring, sprinkles, marshmallows, m&m’s or smarties etc.
Method:
- Turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a paper case in each bun hole.
- Put the sugar and butter (it must be soft, or you will not be able to mix it properly) in a bowl and mix it together. Sift in the flour. Break the eggs into a separate bowl (spoon out any bits of shell that fall in) and add them to the bowl with the vanilla. Mix everything together.
- Divide between the cases using a spoon, scraping it off with a knife. Ask a grown-up helper to put the tray in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Mix the butter and icing sugar to make a creamy icing. Add colouring if you like. Push an icing nozzle into an icing bag, then scoop in the icing.
- Let the cakes cool completely in the tray. Pipe icing onto each cake and decorate with marshmallows or sprinkles, or whatever you like. Do not forget to add a sour straw for the handle or use whatever you like!
Add your favourite sweets! Smarties, Jellybeans, and Cadbury’s Mini Eggs are great for this
