Butterfly Cupcakes

Hello beautifuls,

Today I decided to embrace my inner child and share with you another one of my favourite recipes, butterfly cupcakes.
You will need:
1 1/2 cups of self-raising flour
1/2 tsp softened or melted butter
2/3 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
Vanilla
Food dye
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cream


Method:
1. Sift all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl.
2. Add the butter, eggs and vanilla.  Mix ingredients.
3.  Gradually add milk and combine.  Mix ingredients until smooth.
4. Split your mixture in half, and into two bowls,  Add blue food dye to one bowl and red to the other.  Mix in food dye thoroughly.
5. Place cupcake papers/cases into cupcake tin.  Place the mixture in the cupcake papers.
6. Bake in oven on about 160°C.
7. Whip cream until peaks form.
8. Allow cupcakes to cool.
9. Cut the top off of the cupcakes on an angle.  The cut this piece in half.  These will create the wings.

10. Place cream in the hole that has been created in the cup cake.
11.  Place the wings on top of the cream on an angle.

You could also make mini cupcake versions as they are incredibly cute.

The recipe that I am used is an adapted version from the "Day to Day Cookery Book Third Edition".
