These tiny teddy cupcakes are easy to make but can easily be adapted for the more adventurous. The recipe below is for a basic cupcake but you could easily substitute a chocolate cupcake, a red velvet cupcake etc.

Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced oven.

- For 1/3 cup-capacity muffin pans use 2 level tablespoons of mixture. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.
Alternatively, for 1 tablespoon-capacity mini muffin pans use 1 tablespoon mixture. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. - Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Sift icing sugar into a bowl. Add food colouring of your choice and water. Stir until smooth and well combined. Spoon icing over cupcakes. - Decorate with teddy teddies.Put your tiny teddy cupcakes in an airtight container until the party.
