I am a nightmare! I love all things sweet and I love to try all things new, so why not try a naughty but nice maraschino cherry cupcake!

Gorgeous, to die for, delectable and not for sharing!!

Fluffy, light sponge topped off with maraschino cherry buttercream . . . . . . . . . . .yummy!!

Ingredients

Vanilla Sponge:
4oz self raising flour
4oz caster sugar
4oz margerine / butter
2 large eggs
2 x tsp vanilla extract

Mix all ingredients together until pale and fluffy, divide between 12 x cupcake cases and place into a pre-heated oven at gas mark 4 for 20 minutes or until the sponge is springy under finger

Buttercream
4oz unsalted butter
8oz icing sugar
2 x tbsp marashino cherry syrup
6 maraschino cherries - halved for decoration

Mix the icing sugar, butter and cherry syrup together with a hand mixer / stand mixer - add the sugar gradually or you'll have a sugar cloud!!

Pipe onto your cooled cupcakes and add a cherry on top :-)
