Creme Egg Cupcakes - First Attempt

So as I promised in my last post I was going to share with you all how my creme egg cupcake baking went. It was the first time I had made them, and I had read so much recently about other people making creme egg brownies or cupcakes I just had to give it a go myself!

I have to admit me and my boyfriend are no Delia Smiths when it comes to cooking so it was destined for disaster but very much to our surprise they turned out perfect!
We made 12 creme egg cupcakes and for the rest we used mini eggs.
We decided not to follow a recipe, we kind of just made things up as we went along. At the end of the day, everyone knows how to make cakes!

Ingredients we used;
-200g self raising flour
-200g caster sugar
-200g soft margarine
-4 eggs
-2 tsp baking powder
-1tbs vanilla flavouring 
-12 creme eggs
-1 bag of mini eggs

The 12 creme eggs which went into the cupcakes!

Out of the oven and topped with butter cream and coco powder.

Inside the cupcake!

We took most of the cupcakes around to my boyfriends house on Easter Sunday, he has quite a few cousins who are a lot younger than us and they were over the moon with excitement that a whole creme egg was inside the cupcake! A definite sugar high!

Would love to hear if you did any baking over easter, or in general what you got up too. Please let me know what you think of my cupcakes (well the photos anyway) wish you could have all tasted them! Ha!

Thank you for reading.
