Funny face cupcakes

Make your baking sessions more fun with these delightful Funny Face Cupcakes. Perfect for kids' parties or just a playful treat to brighten up your day, these cupcakes are simple to make and can be decorated any way you like.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a medium mixing bowl, cream together 1 tbsp of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
Beat in the 2 eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is thoroughly mixed before adding the next. Stir in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
Gradually mix in 1 cup of self-raising flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add Milk:
Stir in 1/3 cup of milk until you have a smooth batter.
6. Fill and Bake:
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
7. Cool:
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare Icing:
While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the icing by mixing 1 cup of powdered sugar with a small amount of water or milk (a teaspoon at a time) until you achieve a smooth and spreadable consistency.
9. Decorate:
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, spread the icing on top of each cupcake. Get creative and use candies, colored sprinkles, or food coloring to create funny faces on the icing.
10. Serve:
Enjoy your fun and whimsical funny face cupcakes with family and friends!

Tips:

- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.

- When adding the eggs, do so one at a time to ensure they're well incorporated.

- Fill the cupcake liners only halfway to allow room for the cupcakes to rise without overflowing.

- Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating to prevent the icing from melting.

- Get creative with decorations - use different colored icing, candy, or edible markers to create unique and funny faces.

With a few simple ingredients and a touch of creativity, you can transform ordinary cupcakes into delightful characters that will bring smiles all around. Happy baking and enjoy your funny face creations!
