Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups self-raising flour
  • 0.5 cups caster sugar
  • 125 g butter, melted
  • 0.75 cups milk
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cups Fairy 5?s sprinkles
  • 72 red M&M?s
  • 12 yellow M&M?s
  • 250 g butter, softened (for icing)
  • 3 cups icing sugar mixture
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (for icing)
  • rose pink food colouring

Equipment

  • Muffin pan
  • mixing bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Piping bag

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole (1/3-cup-capacity) muffin pan with paper cases.
  2. Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Make a well. Add butter, milk, egg, and vanilla. Mix well to combine. Divide mixture evenly among paper cases. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a skewer inserted into a cake comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Make Fluffy Vanilla Icing: Using an electric mixer, beat butter for 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually beat in icing sugar until dissolved and icing is light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Beat to combine. Using food colouring, tint pink.
  4. Spoon icing into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle. Pipe icing onto the cakes, piping in a circular motion to cover. Roll the edge of each cake in sprinkles. Decorate cakes with M&M?s to resemble flowers. Serve.
