Step 1: Bake the cupcakes

Mix 500 grams of FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes, the butter, and the eggs for 4 minutes on low speed until smooth batter forms. Mix in the orange flavoring. Place paper baking cups in the baking pan and spoon the batter into the cups (filling them about halfway). Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 18 minutes until cooked through.

Step 2: Make the fondant crowns

For the crowns, roll out the yellow fondant thinly to about 3 mm and cut out the crowns using the crown cutter. Use a star cutter to create a star shape on each crown. Place all the crowns on a sheet of kitchen paper and spray them with lustre spray to make them gold. Let the crowns dry for at least half an hour. Then, attach the jelly diamonds to the crowns using a little edible glue.

Step 3: Make the royal icing

Prepare the Royal Icing as described on the packaging. Place nozzle 12 in a piping bag and fill it with the icing. Pipe a small swirl on top of each cupcake. Gently curve the crowns and place them on top of the swirl.

Step 4: Enjoy your delicious Crown Cupcakes during King's Day!
