Easter Nest Cupcakes
INGREDIENTS
3 medium eggs, beaten 100ml milk For The Chicks... 1 tsp. vanilla extract Orange & Yellow 175g golden caster sugar fondant icing for 200g self-raising flour chicks 50g melted butter black writing icing Butter tube for the eyes 100g chocolate, melted For the frosting 100g chocolate, melted 200g unsalted butter, at room temperature 225g icing sugar, sifted METHOD
1. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases and heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla. Tip sugar into a big mixing bowl with the flour and mix. Add the whisked egg mixture, melted butter and chocolate, stir together until smooth. 2. Spoon into the cases until quite full and bake for 18-20 mins on a middle shelf until golden and a fork poked into the middle comes out clean. Cool the cakes on a wire rack. 3. To make the frosting, put the chocolate, butter and icing sugar in a big bowl and beat together with an electric whisk until just combined. 4. Spread some of the frosting generously over the top of the cooled cakes – you don’t have to go right to the edges. Once you’ve done all 12, scrape the rest of the icing into a piping bag fitted with a fine nozzle, and pipe a ring around the top edge to make a nest.

5. Make a baby chick by moulding oval shapes with yellow icing and then make little beaks from the orange icing and sticking on with a little runny black icing when you add the eyes. Place the baby chicks into the middle of each cake and you’re all set. Like & Follow - Social Media... INSTAGRAM: DEPublications12345 FACEBOOK: DEPublicationsLimited Twitter: @DEPublications
