Cute car cupcakes

To make the cupcakes and icing:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
3. Add eggs, milk and vanilla and whisk until combined.
4. Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, then fold into wet ingredients until well combined.
5. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with cupcake cases.
6. Fill each case ¾ full and level the tops with the back of a spoon.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean.
8. Set aside to cool completely.
9. Whisk icing ingredients together and tint using green food colouring.
10. Place icing in a piping bag and decorate cooled cupcakes as you wish. Alternatively, spread the icing onto the cupcakes in an even layer.

To make the cars:

1. Melt 2-3 blocks of chocolate to use as glue.
2. Stick 4 Jelly Tots each onto the sides of 12 blocks of chocolate using the glue, to resemble car wheels.
3. Allow to set.
4. Place a car on top of each cupcake.
5. Arrange cupcakes on a platter and serve.

Cook’s note: If you don’t have the time to make cupcakes from scratch, a boxed cupcake mix would work perfectly here too.
