24 freshly baked vanilla cupcakes

To decorate:

Cake Décor Cocktail Flavours Kit
Cake Décor Gel Food Colours in Pink, Yellow and Green
white glimmer sugar sprinkles
desiccated coconut
slices of strawberry and lime buttercream icing

Equipment

piping bags
large round nozzle
spatula
4x bowls

Instructions

Split the buttercream icing evenly between 4 bowls – 1 for each flavour. Add a tube of flavour gel from the Cake Décor Cocktail Flavours Kit to each bowl (these include delicious Piña Colada, Gin Fizz, Strawberry Daiquiri and Mojito flavours) and mix well. Use the full tube for max cocktail impact!

To add colour to the cocktail flavoured icing, squeeze Cake Décor Pink, Yellow and Green Gel Food Colour into the corresponding mixes and mix thoroughly.

Spoon the flavoured buttercreams into piping bags with a large round nozzle, then pipe onto the freshly baked cupcakes in circular motions. 4 Now it’s time to add the final touches! We used a selection of sprinkles and drink decorations to finish each cupcake, as well as slices of fresh fruit.
