Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups plain flour; 1 1/4 cups sugar; 1 cup butter; 1 cup milk; 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 1 egg; 2 cups icing sugar; cream; yellow food colouring; 2 cups coconut; m&ms Brown and orange

Servings: persons

2 1/4 cups plain flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup milk
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups icing sugar
cream
yellow food colouring
2 cups coconut
m&ms Brown and orange

1
Heat oven to 180 C. Put paper cases in 24 muffin tins (or halve the recipe and do 12, or bake 12 at a time).
2
In a medium bowl, beat flour, sugar, butter, milk, baking powder, salt, vanilla and egg. Either beat 3 minutes with a mixer, or get that baking bicep out and mix by hand for a few minutes. fill paper cases half full.
3
Bake 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
4
This is the fun part! add tablespoonsful of cream to the two cups of icing in a bowl, until it gets to the desired stage. Some people like runny, I prefer it a little stiff.
5
Add a few drops of yellow food colouring and mix.
6
Now for your chick feathers... add 2 cups coconut to a ziplock bag, drop in some food colouring, seal it up and rub it all with your fingers to dye the coconut. Fun!
7
When cupcakes are completely cool, ice with yellow frosting. Put the coconut in a small bowl, and dip the cupcakes icing-side down into it to completely cover. Add brown M&Ms for eyes, sticking on with a little frosting for glue. Poke orange M&Ms in for the beak... total cuteness.
