HOWTO: HOW TO CREAM BUTTER AND SUGAR
STEP 3
Sift the flour and carefully fold into the mixture. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
STEP 4
Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are approximately ½ full. Then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Leave to cool.
TIP: TESTING IF YOUR CUPCAKES ARE BAKED
STEP 5
To decorate, roll out some of the white icing until it is about 4-5mm thick, then cut a disc about the same size as the top of the cupcake. Brush the top of the cake with some warmed apricot jam, then position the icing on top.
STEP 6
Next roll out some of the red icing and using a flower cutter cut out some flowers. Place the flower onto a folded tea towel and use your fingers to carefully thin out the petals so that they start to curl.
STEP 7

Place these on the top of the cupcake using water to glue it to the white icing. To finish take small pieces of black icing and roll into a ball then squash it slightly. Attach this to the centre of each poppy flower again using some water.
