Notes
Storing: They should last 3-4 days in an airtight tin
Cupcakes: Yes, you read that right. We’re really just decorating 12 ready-made cupcakes or fairy cakes here. Of course, you could also make your own. Follow my homemade cupcake recipe here (just leave out the cocoa)
Ready-made buttercream icing: Of course you can also make your own cream cheese icing with this recipe
White chocolate: I used my favourite Callebaut chocolate for this recipe. This chocolate is just amazing, it melts so well and really makes a difference to any recipe. When you buy it in bulk (1kg bags at a time) from Amazon it works out to about the same price as supermarket chocolate. A good investment I think as it really does make SUCH a difference
