Recipe Ingredients
How to Prepare
Tips
Your cupcakes should keep for up to 3 days stored at room temperature in an airtight container, however we recommend to decorate on the day you are serving them.
Tips
If you have any small heart shaped cutters use these to indent the shapes on the fondant and then you have a guide to paint around for the eyes and nose. 
Tips
Why not try using black fondant to cut out the eyes and nose stick these onto your white fondant. To create the black paint, mix ¼ tsp of icing sugar with a few drops of Dr. Oetker black food colour.
Tips
You can make these alcohol free, replace the vodka in the syrup with water and do not brush onto the cupcakes when baked. Then add 2tsp Dr. Oetker Caramel Flavour to the buttercream instead of the vodka.
