      how_make
      1. Place all cake ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat together until smooth.
      2. Place heaped tablespoons of the mixes in 12 cupcake cases. Bake in centre of pre-heated oven at 180° C, 160-170° C fan oven, Gas mark 4 for 20-25 minutes. Cool on wire tray.
      3. Mix the icing ingredients together adding enough colouring to achieve your favourite shade of pink. You can divide the icing and have 2 shades of pink for a pretty effect.
      4. Place one of the icings down one side of a piping bag fitted with a 124 petal nozzle. Place other icing in the rest of the bag.
      5. Start in the middle with the thick edge of the pipe to the base and pipe a bud shape. Continue piping petals gradually making them slightly larger as you get to the edge.
