METHOD
Gingerbread Cupcakes:-
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan (356°F/320°F Fan)
2. Line a muffin tin with cupcake cases.
3. Place the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup and treacle in a medium-size saucepan and heat on medium heat until smooth,
3. Allow cooling for 5 minutes.
4. Sieve the flour, ginger, cinnamon and mixed spice into a bowl and pour in the cooled sugar/syrup/treacle mixture.
5. Stir until everything is combined.
6. Beat the eggs and add to the mixture and stir to combine.
7. Pour in the slightly warmed milk and whisk until the mixture is lovely and smooth.
8. Divide the mixture between the 12 cupcake cases - fill the cupcake case to about ⅔ of the way full.
9. Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes until fully cooked.
10. When baked, remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.

Caramel Buttercream:-
1. Place the room temperature butter in a medium-size bowl and mix with a hand mixer/stand mixer until the butter is nice and soft and white in colour this should take about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add in a couple of tablespoons of icing sugar and mix until fully incorporated before adding more and mixing again. Do this until all the icing sugar has been added - it’s best to add the icing sugar a little at a time.
3. Pour in the caramel and beat again for about 3-4 minutes until lovely and smooth.
4. Add milk or warm water a little at a time until you get the desired buttercream consistency you want.

DECORATE:-
1. Pipe buttercream swirls on each cupcake - for these cupcakes, I used a 2. drop flower nozzle Jem 1E but you can use whatever one you prefer.
3. Finish off by adding a Gingerbread Man sugar decoration and sprinkles.
4. Mmm Scrummy!!

STORAGE:-
The cupcakes should be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

They can also be frozen with buttercream, truffle, and sprinkles for up to 3 months.

Homemade Caramel

185 g White Granulated Sugar
55 ml Water
150 ml Double Cream
45 g Butter
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
pinch of Sea Salt

Method

1. In a large heavy-based saucepan, add the water and sugar.
2. Heat on low medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved into the water.
3. When the sugar has dissolved and it's starting to bubble turn the heat up higher and DON'T STIR.
4. Leave the mixture alone, and do not touch it.
5. The mixture needs to boil until it turns to an amber colour. This can take between 5 - 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it as you don't want it to burn.
6. Once the mixture has changed to amber remove it from the heat and add the cream.
7. The mixture will bubble and will start to thicken but whisk together until the cream is combined.
8. Add the butter and whisk in till it's melted.
9. Add the vanilla and salt and mix again.
10. Pour into a sterilized jar and leave to cool.
11. Refrigerate once cooled - will keep in the fridge for two weeks.
