These Malteaser cupcakes With MaltEaster Mini Bunnies are sure to put a smile on everyone's face this Easter. The cupcakes are Malteaser flavoured with crushed Malteasers inside and the grass frosting is malt flavoured too.

The hardest thing about making these cupcakes, is not eating all the MaltEaster bunnies before you put them on the cupcakes!

I used the grass nozzle from my piping kit. It is really simple to do. You just need to apply pressure and release. Luckily you tube is always on hand for cake decorating tips if you still aren't sure.

Malteaser Cupcakes With Malteaser Mini Bunnies

Makes 12 cupcakes

For the cupcakes

4oz butter
4oz caster sugar
2 egg
3 oz self raising flour
1/4oz cocoa powder
3/4 oz horlicks
A handful of smashed Malteasters

For the frosting

200g icing sugar
100g butter
2tsp horlicks
Green food gel - I use colorsplash
Grass icing nozzle
MaltEaster Mini Bunnies
Sugar flowers

Preheat the oven to 180C.
Mix all the cake ingredients together. I find that it is easier if the butter is melted in the microwave first.
Divide the mixture between 12 cupcake cases.
Bake until a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool before adding the frosting.
To make the frosting mix the icing sugar, butter, horlicks and green colouring together using an electric whisk. It needs to be quite soft to be piped using the grass nozzle.
Pipe the grass effect over the cupcake. Add a MaltEaster mini bunny to the top and a sugar flower to the side.
