Categories: Cakes, Snacks
     Yield: 12 Cupcakes

  100 g  Butter (4 oz); softened

MMMMM--------------------------ICING---------------------------------
  175 g  Butter (6 oz); softened
  350 g  Icing sugar (12 oz); sifted,
         - plus extra for dusting

 Get 12-hole bun tin and a piping kit.

 Set the oven @ 200°C/400°F (Fan 175°C/350°F/gas 6).

 Place fairy cake cases into a 12-hole bun tin, so that the cakes
 keep a good even shape as they bake.

 Measure all the cake ingredients into a large bowl and beat well
 for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is well blended and smooth.

 Fill each paper case with the mixture.

 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cakes are well risen and
 golden brown. Lift the paper cases out of the bun tin and cool the
 cakes on a wire rack.

 To make the icing, beat the butter and icing sugar together until
 well blended.

 Cut a slice from the top of each cake and cut this slice in half.
 Pipe a swirl of butter cream into the centre of each cake and place
 the half slices of cake on top to resemble butterfly wings.

 Dust the cakes with icing sugar to finish.
