Homemade Cupcakes

1. 1

   Sift the flour and baking powder three times.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a small pan over low heat. Let cool.

3. 3

   Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat egg whites until they become white and frothy. Add sugar to the whites, little by little and continue beating until sugar dissolves.

4. 4

   Next add the egg yolks to the egg white mixture and beat about 5 minutes. After that, add in the dry ingredients, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix well using a rubber spatula.

5. 5

   Now line a cupcake tin or muffin tin with paper cups. Pour batter into cups. Fill to about 2/3 full. Don't over fill.

6. 6

   Bake at 180 c degrees for about 25 minutes. Cupcakes are ready when the top springs back when you touch it with your finger.

7. 7

   Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let cool before decorating. When the cupcake is cool, spread butter icing on the top of the cupcakes.

8. 8

   Decorate with flowers. I made them using gum paste. I've done this in the photo above.

9. 9

   Serve and enjoy.
