Mint Cupcakes

So here I tried my hand at icing with a piping bag for the first time - it's not as easy as it looks!

This was a really simple recipe, with just a touch of peppermint extract in the cake and more in the icing to give it a kick.

I also added a tiny amount of green colouring to the base icing and green and blue Dr. Oekter for the decoration and slightly oddly shaped icing on top.

I think they look sort of wintery - and they were really refreshing to eat as well.

There you go, peppermint cupcakes!!
