Ice Cream Cupcakes

Hi Everyone!
To celebrate the start of summer I've made these 99 ice-cream inspired cupcakes. These cupcakes are super simple to make and they end up looking absolutely adorable; perfect for any summer festivities that you may be attending.
So let's get started...



You'll require:
  • 175g buter
  • 157g caster sugar
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 eggs
  • 150g self rasing flour
  • ice-cream scoop
  • 135g butter
  • 0.5tbsp milk
  • 195g icing sugar
  • 6 flakes, cut in half 
  • 1M piping nozzle 
  • sprinkles
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a cupcake tray with cases, I chose simple blue ones

2. Beat together 175g butter, 175g caster sugar and vanilla extract together until light and fluffy

3. Mix in one egg at a time until combined, then add the flour and mix until you have a smooth mixture

4. Taking an ice-cream scoop, place one scoop into each cupcake case and disperse the remaining mixture amongst each case, in total I made 12 cupcakes

5. Bake in the oven for approx 22minutes until the cupcakes are golden brown and springy to touch


6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven, place on a wire cooling tray and then it's time to make the icing

7. Beat together 135g butter, 0.5tbsp milk and 195g icing sugar until a smooth and creamy icing forms

8. Cut each chocolate flake in half, this will help to make the cupcakes look more proportional

9. Fill a piping bag, fitted with a 1M tip, with the icing and pipe away, I did a simple swirl to replicate a 99. Stick the flake into the icing 

10. Lastly, add some sprinkles


And you're done!
I hope you enjoyed this summery blog post, thanks for reading and I'll see you soon :)
