The festive season is finally upon us, so why not get the kids involved in helping you bake and decorate these cupcakes to help spread the Christmas spirit.

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKES

280 g self-raising flour

175 g golden caster

175 g unsalted butter, very soft

150 g fat-free natural yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 eggs

FOR FROSTING AND DECORATION

85 g unsalted butter, softened

1 tsp vanilla extract

200 g icing sugar, sifted

TO DECORATE

green food colouring, for Christmas trees

chocolate buttons

coloured icing pens

lollies and sprinkles

Method

  1. Heat oven to 190C/170 fan and line a 12-hole muffin tin with cake cases. Put all the cake ingredients into a bowl and mix with a whisk until smooth. Spoon the mix into the cases, bake for 25 mins until golden and risen and a skewer comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  2. For the frosting, beat the butter, vanilla extract and icing sugar until pale and creamy and completely combined. To make snowmen, reindeer and Christmas puddings, first spread the icing over the top of each cake. Then lay the chocolate buttons on top, slicing some buttons into quarters to make ears and hats. Finally, use icing pens for the details. For the Christmas tree, colour the icing with green food colouring and pipe onto the cakes using a star-shaped nozzle, decorate with lollies and sprinkles.
