Cupcakes galore

This card follows the sketch for Clean and Simple FTL67:



This was the prompt for day 257 'picture this' on 365 cards:



It's also good for these challenges:

Saturday spotlight with hidden potential 6: 'repeatedly useful' - to use an image more than once

Cute card Thursday 86: glitter me silly!

Crafty Ann 1: celebrate

Hand full of stamps 4: 'share it with the family - we were encouraged to include a recipe as well as food on our cards, so here is my cupcake recipe:

2 large eggs, cracked open
1 tsp vanilla essence
125g/4oz caster sugar
125g/4oz soft margarine
125g/4oz self-raising flour

1. Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and beat them together until the mixture is smooth and slightly lighter in colour.
2. Line a bun tin or cupcake tin with paper cake cases and half-fill each case with the cake mixture.
3. Cook the cakes for 18-20 minutes. You can tell they are done when they have risen up, are golden in colour, and spring back into shape when lightly pressed.
4. The cupcakes can be decorated using a basic icing, plus marshmallows, writing icing, food colouring and coloured sweets.

I've again used some of the DB cupcakes kit, this time stamping a large cupcake in the nestie scalloped circle and smaller cupcakes scattered. They have been coloured with copics and the icing topped with ice stickles.
