Hello everyone and welcome back to cakemas day 4 and today is going to be some delious candy cane inspired cupcakes. To Make these extra special they are going to be marble cupcakes with a twist... Lets get baking! Please also excuse my terrible icing i have new icing equipment and am still getting used to it and my kitchen was super hot so... excuses over let's actually get baking now.

You Will Need:

• 115g Unsalted Butter
• 115g Self Raising Flour
• 115g Caster Sugar
  
• 2 Medium Eggs 
• Red Food Colouring

For The Icing:

• 100g Icing Sugar
• 50g Unsalted Butter
• 12 Candy Canes

Method:

• Preheat your oven to 180 (fan) (gas mark 6 / 200C) 
• Make your vanilla cupcake batter ( If you would like the full break down of ingredients Click Here.) 
• Once your batter is made seperate it into two equal bowls.
• Colour one of your bowls of batter red. I don't Put a measurements because you just have to keep adding a little bit of red food colouring until you have the colour you want.

• Marbel your normal batter and red batter together using a cake tester or knife, you don't want to do this for very long because it will mix even more after you put the mixture in the case.
• Pop your cupcakes in the oven for 15 - 20 minutes and leave them to cool for a further 10 - 15 minutes.

• While cooling make your butter cream (If you would like the full break down of ingredients Click Here.) 
• Icing on your cupcakes once cooled and they them decorate with a candy cane.
• Your done, enjoy your cupcakes!

Hope you enjoyed your cupcakes and see you very soon with another cakemas blog!
