Apple shaped Vanilla Cup Cakes

One of my friends in the condo ordered these for her Daughter Snowwhite Birthday party. I made around 35 cup cakes.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/3 cups sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 200 gms Butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 large eggs

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add Butter, milk, and vanilla. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape side of bowl with a spatula. Add eggs to the mixture. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape bowl again. Beat on high speed for 1 minute 30 seconds until well mixed. Spoon cupcake batter into paper liners until 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cool 5 minutes in pans then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely. Once cupcakes are completely cooled, frost with your favorite frosting recipe or decorate as you desire.

For the Forsting:

250 gms Salted Butter
500 gms icing sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence

Method: Beat the above mixture in an electric beater until its smooth & fluffy for about 5 mins. Take a spatula & ice the cup cakes well. In a bowl pour in the red colred sugar. Dip the iced cup cakes into the sugar micture so its well coated. For the stem I used choc0late flavoured fondant.
