  Easy and delicious, but the best thing is that the frosting covers up any mistakes! (I overfilled the cases) Would definitely make again.

  These were worth the effort and were enjoyed by both adults and children. They had the wow factor at the children's party I took them to and one said out loud - 'oh - you got one of the good ones!' Can't beat a compliment like that...

  These little cupcakes are superb! I made them for a friend�s birthday over the weekend. You can be so creative with them; I put pick edible glitter on a few� Everyone raved about them. The icing is great too; I�ll defiantly make them again!

  Absolutely fantastic! The cakes taste divine - beautiful orangey taste. I made them for my son's 4th birthday and decorated with sprinkles, silver balls and chocolate beans! Not sure what size cake cases you were supposed to use but I used normal fairy cake ones (as opposed to muffin ones which are bigger) and I therefore made about 28 cakes!!

  These tasted great but I couldn't get the icing to thicken eventhough I whisked it for over 15 mins. I will use buttercream next time
