These Stormtrooper cupcakes are a fantastic way of celebrating May 4th (or any event quite frankly!). Treat your friends and family. They are so easy to make! Method Preheat the oven to 180ºc/350ºf/Gas 4 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in the eggs a little at a time and stir in the vanilla extract. 110g Butter (Unsalted) 110g Caster Sugar 2 Eggs 1 tsp Nielsen Massey Vanilla Extract Fold in the flour at the same time adding a little milk until the mixture is of a dropping consistency. Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until they are half full. 110g Self Raising Flour Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden-brown on top and a skewer inserted into one of the cakes comes out clean. Set aside to cool. For the buttercream icing, beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth. 140g Butter (Unsalted) 280g Icing Sugar Then add the remaining icing sugar with one tablespoon of the milk, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spoon the icing into a piping bag with a star nozzle and pipe the icing using a spiralling motion onto the cup cakes in a large swirl. Add a marshmallow to the top and paint on a Stormtrooper face using an edible icing pen.

Only vanilla extract has the true flavour and aroma of vanilla pods, producing a fuller, richer taste which will transform the taste of any recipe. Vanilla is also a flavour enhancer so will work with other ingredients and flavours in a recipe to give amazing results! It is a versatile ingredient which can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, try it in your cakes, cupcakes and buttercream. We always recommend using an extract rather than essence when baking. Our favourite extract is Nielsen-Massey, it gives consistently great results, the vanilla pods are hand picked in the finest growing regions of Mexico, Tahiti and Madagascar and enter a cold extraction process to extract the vanilla from the pod whilst still preserving over 300 flavour compounds. 1 tbsp Milk For the Buttercream 140g Butter (Unsalted) 280g Icing Sugar 1 tbsp Milk 1 tsp Nielsen Massey Vanilla Extract Vanilla extract is a superior flavouring ingredient, derived solely from the vanilla pod by soaking it in alcohol and water.
