with the coloured cake mix.
• Bake till the cupcake is cooked
through and springs back
when press in the middle.
• Take the cupcakes out of the
tin and leave to cool
completely.

• Using a small spoon,
scoop out the middle of
the cooled cupcakes.
• Only scoop out the top
half, don’t go all the way
to the bottom.
• Scraps can be eaten at
this stage !

• Fill the scooped out
centre of each of the
cupcakes with your choice
of lollies.
• MnM’s are always a
great choice but you
can use whatever suits
the cupcake flavour
best.

• Divide your icing into 3 small
bowls.
• Colour each using purple,
blue and lime green gel food
colouring.
• Set up your piping bags with
star nozzles and fill each with
a different coloured
buttercream icing.

• Twist the top of the piping bag
and wrap your hand around.
• Hold the bag straight, over the
top of the cupcake.
• Start in the middle and pipe a
large round using the purple
icing.
• Pipe a smaller round of blue icing
on top of the purple.
• Repeat this process and end with
the lime green icing.

• Dust your work surface with a thin layer
of cornflour.
• Knead your white gumpaste to soften it
and make is easier to work with.
• Roll out the gumpaste, approx 2-3mm
thick.
• Cut out a small heart and leave to one
side.
• Using the funky tappits cut the letters I,
C, A, K and E.
• Leave all the decorations to dry out
completely, at least over night if not
a few days.

• Brush each letter and the
heart with a thin layer of glue
(this step is much easier
when the decorations are
dry).
• Brush each of the glued
decoration with some
Hologram white glitter, cover
the decorations completely
and leave to dry out.

• Once the glue has
dried, pick each
decoration up very
carefully and press
into the icing.

• Peel the paper off the
cupcake.
• Carefully cup the
cupcake in half to
reveal the surprise
inside.
• LOLLIES !!!
