COOKING METHOD

 |
|
This recipe is a lot easier if
the butter is soft. YOU - Pour all the ingredients for the
cakes (not the Butter Icing ingredients) into a bowl and start
off the mixing.
Preheat the oven to 170 C / 325 F / Gas Mark 3. |
|
YOUR
CHILD - Continue
mixing until all the ingredients are well mixed together.
Use a spoon to
fill each cake tin about half to two thirds full with cake
mixture. |
|
|
|
YOUR
CHILD - Place
the filled cake case on a baking tray. A flat tray is fine but
if you have a bun tin with cake case holes, all the better
(click picture on right to enlarge). |
|
 |
 |
YOU - Place the baking tray
in the pre-heated oven (170 C / 325 F / Gas Mark 3). Put it in the
middle of the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Do not open the oven
door for at least 20 minutes. If you do, the cakes may well
collapse. They are cooked when golden brown. |
|
YOU - Use a sharp knife to slice off the top part of each
cake. Click the picture on the right to get a better idea of the
size of the slice. Cut the sliced off cake into two, these
will be used later to form the wings of the butterfly.
|
 |
 |
YOUR
CHILD - Place
all the ingredients for the butter icing in a large bowl and
stir for about five minutes until all the ingredients are well
combined. |
|
YOUR
CHILD - Place about a teaspoon full of the butter icing on top
of each cake. Then push the "wings" into the butter icing.
More
decorations can be placed on the cake depending on what is
available. Click the picture on the right for our kids ideas! |
