For the cup cakes…

  5. Next I carefully shared the sponge cake mixture between the 6 cup cake cases.
  6. Then I let it bake in the centre of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until they rose up and went golden brown.
  7. Afterwards I took them out of the oven and left them to cool down completely.

For the icing…

  1. I made my icing by putting the icing mix in a bowl and adding 2-3 teaspoons (15ml) of water…
  2. Then I mixed it carefully until it got thick but pourable
  3. Using a spoon I divided the icing equally between the cooled cakes then added the waferettes to decorate and complete my MINION cup cakes.
