Lorna's Sprinkles Cupcakes!

For our first birthday, i decided to go with a good ol' classic of sprinkles cupcakes, and to make it even more "1st birthday" i put dinosaurs on the top ^_^

Ingredients:

100g margarine
150g plain flour
1.5tsp baking powder
150g caster sugar
3tbsp milk
2 medium eggs
1tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup sprinkles (equiv. 62ml volume)

Icing sugar
Lemon juice
Orange chocolate

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.

Measure all ingredients except the sprinkles into a bowl, and mix with an electric mixer (i used a hand held one, although a big mixer would be equally as good). Stir in the sprinkles until well distributed, and divide the mix between each case.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen and slightly golden on top. Leave to cool on a wire rack.

I made my decorations by melting orange coloured orange-flavoured chocolate and pouring into a dinosaur shaped silicone mould (so cute!!). Leave to cool in the fridge for about half an hour and the chocolates pop right out.

Mix icing sugar with a little water and lemon juice, pop a little on top of each cake, and attach a dinosaur.
