Cupcakes:

1. Sift dry ingredients together.
2. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat well until smooth and creamy.
3. Place in red paper cups into muffin tin and fill each cup 3/4 full.
4. Bake for 15 minutes at 180° C.

Icing:

1. For blue and red icing: Cream together 125g butter and 125g icing sugar.
2. Add one tablespoon of milk and 1 tsp vanilla essence and mix well.
3. For white icing: use 125g white margarine and 125g icing sugar
4. Add two tablespoons of milk and 1 tsp vanilla essence and mix well.
5. Place each color into a piping bag. I started with an entire layer of blue made with the star nozzle. Then topped that with the white and finally, a gorgeous pop of bright red on the top!
