1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, 350°F, Gas Mark 4). Line a muffin tray with 12 muffin cases. In a bowl cream together the caster sugar and margarine until creamy and smooth. Add the eggs and Orange Extract and mix to a smooth consistency.  

2

Sift the flour and Cocoa Powder on top of the mixture and fold until all the mixture is combined together. 

3

Divide the mixture between the muffin cases and place in the oven. Bake your cupcakes for 20-25 minutes until the baked and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 15minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.

4

Once cooled, put your buttercream onto a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe a buttercream peaked swirl onto each cupcake. Sprinkle with the Glamour and Sparkle sprinkles and finish with some lustre dust for the perfect festive touch!
