- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and line a muffin tin with patty cups.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together then beat in eggs, one at a time. Add lemon rind and vanilla; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, bicarb, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream (cake mixture will be thick). Fill the patty cups 3/4 full. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a skewer tests clean. Cool for 10 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the icing: in a large bowl, cream together the butter and vanilla. Beat in the icing sugar in four batches, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk until light and fluffy.
- To make the ears, take the marshmallow halves and place them on a clean surface cut side down. Spread a little bit of icing over the top of each then sprinkle with the pink decorating sugar to make the inside of the ear.
- Spread a layer of icing over each cupcake then carefully add two marshmallow halves to each to make ears. Place a smartie in the middle to make a nose then draw in the eyes and whiskers with black writing icing.

I used my own cupcake recipe, but used the decorating idea on my cakes. They turned out great. I added some icing whitener to my buttercream icing to make it whiter, as it was a bit yellow. I also coloured some of the icing black to use for eyes and whiskers, as I had no icing pen. Thanks for the great idea! - 02 Apr 2012
