red nose day cupcakes

hey guys i know this is a bit of a random post but i was looking through some pictures and found these cupcakes. My form at school had decided we should sell some cupcakes for red nose day and i was asked to make them so this is what they looked like:
there was about 7 batches of these 6 cupcakes
ingredients:
600 g self raising flour
600 g caster sugar
600 g butter
12 eggs
2-3 tsp of vanilla essence


decorations:
500g butter
1kg icing sugar
1 kg white regal icing
red gel colouring

Method:

  1. preheat your oven to 170⁰c  and line the cupcake tin with cupcake cases
  2. cream the butter and sugar together until it feels smooth
  3. crack the eggs one by one and add to the mixture. Mix it for a bit and add the vanilla essence and water
  4. add in the flour. Once it has been mixed till its light and fluff spoon the mixture evenly between the cupcake cases
  5. put the cupcakes in the oven for around about 20-25 mins until they have risen well and look golden
  6. leave the cupcakes to cool on a cooling rack
  7. make the buttercream using the recipe i have put up on my blog for your cupcakes and if you want, colour it with GEL colours. If you use liquid food colouring u will have to use more for a darker shade
  8. colour the regal icing with the red Gel colouring and roll out and use round cookie cutter that is either smaller or the same size as the cupcake
  9. fill a piping beg which has a rose nozzle with buttercream and pipe a rose. if you dont know how to watch the first 30 seconds of this video, this is what i watched when i was learning how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnfJDja_OMQ
  10. place a red disc on each cupcake 
  11. fill another piping bag which has a writing nozzle in it and write whatever you want to write on the discs 

i hope this has helped you, enjoy!!
