Flake Cupcakes
Chocolate cupcakes decorated with chocolate buttercream and Flake bars. These are my 10 year-old son's favourite thing to eat in the world. I make these for the school and church fairs and they always go down a treat! Easy to make and lovely to eat!

- Cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease or line a cupcake tin.
- Mix the margarine and golden caster sugar together, then gradually add the flour and eggs. Mix well, then add the cocoa powder, vanilla and milk.
- Fill the muffin cases half way up, there should be enough mixture to make 24 cupcakes, depends on the size of your cases.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool.
- Buttercream: Combine all buttercream ingredients and beat well until smooth.
- To Decorate: Pipe or spoon the buttercream onto each cooled cupcake.
- Cut each full sized Flake in to 3 pieces and lay a piece on top of the buttercream.
Piping
If piping the buttercream on use a piping bag with a huge rose nozzle on. Start piping around the sides and end up in the middle so it's a nice mountain of buttercream. Practice makes perfect, if you go wrong just scrape it off and start again.
