Cute cupcakes have enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. Thanks to a plethora of new products, exquisitely decorated homemade cakes are a cinch.

Decorating tips

Colour:

Add colouring gradually until you've reached the desired shade. Paste colouring offers a greater variety of shades and a more intense hue than liquids. Butter that is very yellow will affect the colour; unsalted butter gives a paler base after beating.

Frosting:

Ready-made fondant icing can be coloured by kneading in drops of liquid or paste colouring. Roll flat on a surface sprinkled with pure icing sugar and use a biscuit cutter to cut out circles. Secure with a dollop of jam.
