Product Information

Once your buttercream is made, but before you colour it, use your spatula to mix and press your buttercream around your mixing bowl for about a minute or so. This smooths out your buttercream, pushing out air bubbles, so giving you a really silky buttercream to work with for your final step. This step is optional, of course, but worth doing to avoid the air bubbles! Of course, for me my baking has to also be about visual appeal. So when considering the buttercream for these beauties (I already knew the cupcakes had to be chocolatey!), I wanted to hold onto the sweet springtime colours of mini eggs. Hence, the obvious decision was to use the same colours for my buttercream. I love this technique too: it looks so impressive and fun, but it’s actually really quite easy to do, I promise! Mini eggs are perfect on mini cupcakes because they appear larger on top of them. These are also the perfect size for kids as a treat.

Obviously, they're mainly an Easter chocolate, but you tend to be able to find them from soon after Christmas, right through the summer at least! Are Cadbury Creme Egg cakes suitable for vegetarians? Buttercream: Once again, any flavor buttercream would work. I’m using my vanilla easy Swiss Meringue Buttercream (recipe below), but if you prefer Italian Meringue or American Buttercream– go for it! I wouldn’t recommend a softer buttercream (such as Ermine Buttercream or French Buttercream) as these won’t be stable enough to support the cake layers.

This cake also goes the extra mile because it has crushed mini eggs between the layers. And I mean come on, crushed mini eggs in a cake? YES PLEASE.

As much as I love making desserts from scratch, sometimes I prefer a little bit of a simpler method. For this cake, I chose to use storebought white cake mix, but I did add some extra tweaks to make it taste just as good as homemade cake!

Five: To make the buttercream frosting mix together the icing sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and milk with an electric whisk until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is still a bit stiff, add a touch more milk.
