Thanks! And just basic recipe:
Cakes:
My Mum reckons this makes 1 layer of a sponge cake or 10 little cakes - I generally get about 6 cupcakes out of it
2oz (50g) margerine
2oz (50g) granulated or caster sugar
1 egg
4oz (100g) self raising flour (if you want chocolate subsitute 1/2oz flour for 1/2oz cocoa powder)
Pinch baking powder
Half teaspoon vanilla essence/extract
Cream the margerine and sugar together. Beat in the egg. Add remaining ingredients and mix! You want quite a loose batter, so I often have to add a splash or two of milk.
Cook at Gas Mark 5 for about 15-20 minutes.
Buttercream:
This is a bit more haphazard I'm afraid...
Icing sugar and margerine!! I generally aim for just under twice the amount of icing sugar to margerine. Try 4oz margerine with 7oz icing sugar? You'll know when it's the right texture/flavour
And add any flavourings/colourings you want
