Candyfloss Cuppies

This week at University, the Muslim Student's Association (MSA) held a cake sale in order to raise funds to support a Fun Day with 38 orphan kids (from Baitul Aman Children's Home). Charity begins at home and this opportunity gave me an excuse to finally bake a batch of Candyfloss cupcakes which have recently been catching my attention on Pinterest.

Ingredients

150g Butter
1 Cup Castor Sugar
1 and 1/4 Cup Flour
3/4 Cup Cocoa
3 Eggs
3 tsp Baking Powder
100ml Milk
50ml Water
1 tsp Candyfloss or Bubblegum flavoured Essence

Icing

100g  WoodenSpoon
120g Icing Sugar
Pink Gel Colouring
Candyfloss

Method

Beat Butter and Sugar until creamy, then add the rest of the ingredients and beat for approximately 3minutes

Line cupcake tray with cupcake cases and fill each case 3/4 way

For the icing, beat WoodenSpoon and Icing Sugar until creamy, then add 2-3 drops of desired gel colour and mix until colour is evenly distributed

Once baked and cooled, ice cupcake and top with fresh Candyfloss

Unfortunately because of the Durban heat, after about 3hours the Candyfloss dissolved and left a sugary blue smear like below, so I do suggest topping the cupcakes with the Candyfloss just before serving
