METHOD

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 5. Line a muffin tray with 6 cupcake cases.

2 For the cake batter, whisk together the soft butter, vanilla and sugar until light and fluffy.

3 Add a beaten egg with a spoonful of flour until well combined, repeat with the other egg. Add the rest of the flour and mix until smooth.

4 Fill the cupcake cases evenly with the batter. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes.

5 Remove from the oven and tray, cool on a wire rack.

6 For the filling, cut out a spoonful of cake from the middle of each cupcake and fill with a blob of jam.

7 For the buttercream, whisk the butter and add the icing sugar slowly until light
and fluffy. Then add the green colouring until the desired spooky shade!

8 Pipe the buttercream onto the cool cupcakes.

9 For the witches hats, shape a cone of black fondant and stick to an Oreo. Add details to the hat with yellow fondant (see photo).

10 Add some eyes and a wonky nose made from green fondant for the scary
witches face.
