Step 1

Pre-heat your oven to Fan Force 150-160 degree celcius. Cupcakes cook better on a low setting over a longer period rather than high heat. Place a Red Gingham Cucpake case into the bottom of a muffin pan. Fill the pan with as many cases as you need.

Step 2

Make your basic cake batter (I used a classic vanilla) and spoon an even amount into each cupcake case. I find 1-2 heaped tablespoons is great. Bake your cupcakes for around 20-25 minutes. They should rise slowly and evenly. If they crack at the top, the oven is too hot. If they veer towards to the left or right, then you have a hot spot in your oven so you should rotate the tray half way during cooking to try and compensate. Onced cooked - let them cool.

Step 3

Make a batch of Butter Frosting. (recipes can be found on the back of the pure icing sugar packet or go to Robertsconfectionery.com.au for one using Crisco Shortening. Add a few drops of Raspberry Flavoured Colouring. It will tint your icing red as well as giving it a delicious Raspberry Flavour. This will give your cupcakes a real taste difference that will leave your guests wanting more and more!!

Step 4

Pipe the Raspberry frosting onto each cupcake. Using a dry paintbrush dip it into the pot of Non Toxic Gold Decorators Glitter. Flick or sprinkle the glitter over the top of the frosting. You can also use your fingers.

Step 5

Insert a Rudolph cupcake topper into the top of your finished cupcake. Repitition is what makes cupcakes looks so inviting to eat, so cover a pretty plate or stand in these rudolph cupcakes and there is no way they can't look fabulous.
