Butterfly Cupcakes

Butterfly cupcakes are easy to make and they look so cute!

It is best to cook cupcakes in a moderate oven as this keeps them as flat-topped as possible.

Place a small amount of filling in the cavity. Cut the circle in half and place the two "wings" on top of the filling. Dust with sifted icing sugar.
