Prepare the 2 muffin tins with paper cups. There is a large variety of images, colours and styles.
Preheat the oven to 350F/175C.
In a large bowl (to prevent spollage) mix the baking powder, flour and the salt.
Combine the room temperature butter and sugar together in a large bowl until nice and smooth. A food mixer is ideal for this recipe.
Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. When fully mixed, add the next egg and so on.
Add the dry mix and the milk bit by bit to ensure smooth batter mixture. (bit of flour followed by bit of milk then repeat)
Fill each of the paper cups about 2/3 full.
Place the trays in the preheated oven until lovely and coloured. I have a small skewer that I insert into the middle. If it comes out clean then then are done. Normally takes about 15 minutes.
I always remove the cakes from the tins to prevent the residual heat continuing to cook them.
When cool, let the children loose with the toppings
