Bundle Of Chatter: Bonfire Night Cupcakes

Hello everyone Welcome back to my blog. So, it turns out one of my most viewed blogs is my halloween cupcake recipe. So, I thought I'd do another seasonal cupcake recipe! As you may or may not known over in England Bonfire night is comming up, but to be honest you could make these any time of year as they are very cute and easy.

You Will Need:

For The Cupcakes:

115g Unsalted Butter
115g Self Raising Flour
115g Caster Sugar
2 Medium Eggs
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 tbsp Milk
4 tsp Bright, Multicolour Sprinkles

For The Toffee Buttercream:

45g Unsalted Butter
90g Icing Sugar
Brown Food Colouring
3 tsp Vanilla Extract.

Toppings (All of these are optional):

Popcorn
Mini Marshmallows
Popping Candy

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180 (fan) (gas mark 6 / 200C) and weigh out your ingredients.

Make your vanilla cake batter (If you could like the full breack down to make vanilla cake batter click here )
Add in your bright sprinkles they have to be bright other wise they don't shown up. I used around 4 tsp but it's down to your taste. (these are ment to resemble fireworks in your cupcakes and don't add flavouring just little dots of colour.)
Pop Your cupcakes in the oven for 10-15 minutes.

Once baked set your cupcakes on a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Make your butter cream (If you would like the full breack down to make the buttercream click here )

Mix together your food colouring (only a small amount) and vanilla extract. I couldn't find brown food colouring so i just mixed pink, blue and green togther.

Add a little at a time until you have a toffee / beige colour. (because you added extra vanilla extract it should taste a little toffee like although you could you flavouring, for actual melted toffee in your butter cream.)

Add your toppings (this is optional; personally, i tosted some honey popcorn under the grill for 2 minutes and added that. defintely worth it, it tasted amazing)
