1 batch of chocolate frosting
70g of melted milk chocolate
Mini marshmallows and popcorn
Handful of glace cherries (optional)

2. Pipe a large swirl of chocolate frosting onto each cake; this doesn't need to be neat!

frosting if you want to build it higher. You can also add chopped cherries if you wish.

Quick cupcake ideas
Candy cupcakes
Swirl strawberry, lemon or orange frosting on to vanilla cupcakes and sprinkle with some
little soft sweets e.g. Little Jems, Millions, Hundreds and Thousands etc. once the frosting
has started to set.
Ribbons and bows
Tie small ribbons that match your cupcake cases to cocktail sticks and push into each
cupcake.
I love Rosie
Buy readymade petal paste roses or crystallise your own petals using rose petals, lightly
whipped egg white and sugar, and place on a vanilla frosted cupcake with a red case.
