Looking for help with Muffins! Can't master them at all

Mmmmmmmm yummy!!

What did you use for the icing?

It's butter icing,

125g of softened butter
8oz of icing sugar
vanilla or almond extract to flavour (my fav is almond!)
a few drops of milk to make it all fluffy
and a few drops of whatever colour you want to use

Thank you, going to try that this week-end. I use just the usual icing sugar but I want them to look like american cupcakes just like yours do

If you want any ideas or tips and i can help just shout!

please can you share the recipe for the sponge cake

Its basic ......

2 eggs = 4oz of flour,sugar,butter + one tsp of baking powder and fold not beat

3 eggs = 6oz of flour,sugar,butter +tsp baking powder

4 eggs = 8oz of flour,sugar,butter +tsp baking powder

And so on.A little milk if it seems to stodgy and then a dash of vanilla essence,cocoa powder,coconut,fruit or whatever takes your fancy.I dont line my tins I grease and flour em x

Thanks, how do I know how many eggs to use? does it depend on the cake tin? I just usually follow the same recipe for a sponge so have no idea how to "free style"

OOPs sorry hun.I just realised a boo boo xxx edited below xx

2 eggs = 4oz of flour 4oz sugar 4oz butter + one tsp of baking powder and fold not beat

3 eggs = 6oz of flour 6oz sugar 6oz butter + tsp baking powder

4 eggs = 8oz of flour 8oz sugar 8oz butter + tsp baking powder

So its eggs and then the measure of ingredients. ie 3 eggs and 6 oz of ingredients ..
