They look so pretty Owens. I love buttercream. They'd make great Valentine cakes if you put heart-shaped sweeties on top:heartpuls

thanks

When I do chocolate buttercream I just sub 1 tbsp of icing sugar for 1 of cocoa;)

When I do plain buttercream I use lemon juice rather than milk.

Can anybody give me some tips? Are there certain ratios I need to keep to with wet and dry ingredient? Really in need of some help! Thanks in advance!!

Are we talking muffins here or fairy cakes. I always get confused with this as in the US muffins are cupcakes??

Muffins are made with veg oil rather than butter/marg. It makes them moist. Also with muffins you don't thoroughly mix the ingredients, you sort of just move a metal spoon around a bit.

I have a lovely cupcake/muffin book if you would like some recipes.

For every 14oz/400g of flour you need 8fl oz sunflower oil and 2 eggs and 7oz/200g sugar. Start from here and you can't go wrong, you could add carrot, apple, courgette (yes really) coconut, nuts, any chopped fruit.
