Ice-Cream Cupcakes :-)

So after reading through some blogs, I decided the way to go was with the summer theme, im thinking, old school summer. The kind of summer you remember from childhood, back in the day. The first thing to spring to mind? 99! The 99 from the ice-cream man!

Soft, Mr Whippy Ice-Cream completed with a heavenly chocolate flake :-) now that, makes me think of summer!

The finished product! Three flavours, lemon, strawberry and vanilla!


Ingredients

Vanilla Sponge:
6 oz self raising flour
6oz caster sugar
6oz margerine / butter
3 large eggs
2 x tsp vanilla extract

Mix the ingredients together until pale and smooth, pour the cake mix into 14 Askeys ice-cream cup cornets and place onto a baking tray into a pre-heated oven at gas mark 3.

The cones are ready after around 17 - 20 minutes or when the sponge is springy under finger.

Buttercream:
8oz unsalted butter
16oz icing sugar
2 x tbsp milk

Mix the butter, milk and icing sugar together gradually until thick and creamy. Add flavouring and colouring to taste. Don't forget the sprinkles!!
