Vanilla Cup Cakes

Recipe

225g olive oil spread (Bertolli)

225g Self raising Flour

225g Caster sugar

4 eggs

1tsp Vanilla Extract

Cream together sugar and spread, add vanilla extract. Sift in flour and stir in eggs gradually until mixture is smooth and creamy. Bake in cake cases for 20-25 mins at 180C 

Easy Peesy recipe to follow, decorate as you please, I used a basic butter cream and fondant shapes.

Butter cream Recipe (olive oil spread alternative)

100g icing sugar 

100g olive oil spread

1tsp vanilla extract

Stir ingredients together until smooth and creamy (If you happen to over cream your mixture you can stick it in the fridge for half hour or so)

I used pre made fondant available in most super markets or at your local cake craft shop, and cookie cutters for the exact shapes. Also added edible silver balls for a little bit of sparkle. 

(side note) It is cool to use unsalted butter for this recipe, I however am very lazy and didn't want to walk to the shop so went with the what have I got in the fridge option.
