Step 1: Bake the cupcakes

Start by preparing the 500g FunCakes Mix for Cupcakes following the instructions on the packaging. Place the gold baking cups in a muffin pan and spoon the batter into the cups using an ice cream scoop. Fill the cups to about halfway. Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 180°C (convection 160°C) for approximately 18 minutes until baked through.

Step 2: Make the buttercream

Meanwhile, prepare the buttercream following the instructions on the packaging. Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature. After following the regular preparation method, you can optionally add color or flavor. Here, we've added a delicious orange flavor to the buttercream. Simply add a little orange flavoring (to taste) and mix well.

Step 3: Decorate the Orange Cupcakes

Fit the piping nozzle into the piping bag and fill it with the buttercream. Hold the piping bag upright above the cupcake and create a beautiful swirl by piping from the outside to the center in a spiral motion. Complete the swirls with orange sprinkles or nonpareils for the perfect finish.
