Make Yourself Simple Cupcakes!

To make simple cupcakes of your own, you'd need to have these ready:

• 125g butter
• 125g castor sugar
• 125g all-purpose flour
• 2 medium eggs
• 1/2 a teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• About 12 pcs of normal-sized cupcake cups

To make a simple buttercream frosting, you'd need to prepare:

• 460 g icing sugar
• 226 g soft butter
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 4 tablespoon of low-fat milk
• assorted food colorings (don't put in too much, PLEASE!)
• YOUR CHOICE OF SPRINKLES!

Methods:

**Cake Baking.

1. Heat  your oven to 190 deg Celsius.
2. Beat your butter and castor sugar until the mixture pales and fluffs.
3. Add in the eggs gradually while mixing them in a slower pace. And then, in goes the vanilla essence!
4. Sift the flour and baking powder together. Gradually scoop the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
5. When the batter's done, you can scoop in the prepared batter to fill 3/4 of cupcake cups. You have to leave some space for the cake to rise while it bakes, yea~
6. When all that is done, get your baking tray and voila~ carefully place your cupcake-to-be into the hot oven, and bake 'em baby cakes for about 20 minutes :)

**Topping Preparation.

1. Place the soft butter in your mixing bowl. Beat it with your electronic mixer until soft and smooth.
2. Beat in the vanilla essence and then add in the icing sugar gradually.
3. Scrape the sides of the bowls insides as you needed.
4. Add in the milk, and well all these items are well-blended, you should put the mixer on high-speed for 5 minutes.
5. While waiting for your cakes to cool down, it is best for you to right away cover the batter with a cling wrap and chill in the refrigerator.

Once you have the cakes and buttercream frosting in place, you can start decorating your cake as you please! 

YAY!

Good luck with cupcake-making and have an awesome time baking~

It is best for you to have your mom, dad, siblings or friends around to bake with you - It'd be FUN! Really :)
