- Beat in eggs one at a time and add Vanilla Extract. Gently fold in the flour & ground almonds, add the milk and fill 12 cupcake cases with the finished mixture
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, take them out and leave until they’re too cool for school. Warm jam in the microwave for 10 – 20 seconds, then spread on top of cupcakes
- Roll Icing to the thickness of a £1 coin. Use 100g of yellow, 100g of red plus 40g of black. Use a cutter to make icing discs (you need 5 yellow, 5 red and 2 black) and arrange on top of cupcakes
- Wipe black cupcakes with a damp cloth and sprinkle Chocolatey Strands on top. Arrange your cupcakes with a black one in the middle, surrounded by five coloured ones
- Roll most of the green Icing, creating stalks for your flowers. Then roll out the remaining icing to create leaves, arranging them on either side of your stalks.
