Easy Easter Cupcakes

Making tasty Easter cupcakes is a cheap and easy way of keeping kids entertained during school holidays.

Getting kids involved in preparing for Easter celebrations is a great way of keeping them amused, and giving you some relief from all the hard work.

Making simple Easter cupcakes together is also a good way of introducing them to the basics of baking and using the kitchen.

Easter cupcakes are easy to make and are a nice alternative to Easter eggs.

They can be decorated in lots of different ways using, sprinkles, edible glitter or edible shapes to create Easter themes.

This easy to follow recipe makes 12 small cupcakes.

You’ll need the following Easter cupcake ingredients:

2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
125g/4oz caster sugar
125g/4oz soft margarine
125g/4oz self-raising flour

And these baking utensils:

A bun tin or cupcake tin
Paper cupcake cases
A wire cooling rack

As well as some cupcake decorations:

Basic icing (icing sugar mixed with water or margarine for a butter icing as per instructions on the icing sugar packet)
Marshmallows
Cupcake sprinkles, selections are available from most supermarkets and cook shops
Tubes of writing icing
Sweets, mini Easter eggs

To make the cupcakes,start by pre-heating your oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.

Then crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the sugar, vanilla essence and margarine. Beat these together until you have a smooth mixture.

Next sieve the self-raising flour into the bowl and beat the mixture together until it’s smooth.

Place a paper cupcake case in each of the bun tin holes and half-fill each of the paper cases with the cupcake mix.

Bake the cakes in the middle of the oven for around 18 to 20 minutes, or until they have risen, become a golden colour and spring back into shape when lightly pressed.

Once cooked, remove from the oven and place the cakes on a wire cooling rack to cool before decorating.

When cool the cupcakes can be decorated using a basic icing and any of the edible cake decorations.

Quick and Easy Powdered Sugar Icing

2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake. Once you’ve iced your cake, it’s best to let it stand for one or two hours.

To make chocolate icing, add two tablespoons cocoa powder when you mix the powdered sugar and follow the rest of the recipe above.

Thick Vanilla Frosting

1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
4 tablespoons milk

Beat together shortening and vanilla for 30 seconds medium speed with an electric mixer. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time while beating. Then add 2 tablespoons milk. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the milk until you get the right thickness for your frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 6 ounce package cream cheese
