Ingredients

40 Mini Cupcakes

  • 1 package Dainty Vanilla Cupcakes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup/125ml Milk
  • 1/4 cup/60ml Vegetable Oil

Cinnamon Swirl Icing

  • 1 package (250g) of Crema Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup/60ml Icing Sugar
  • 1/2 cup/125ml Butter, softened
  • 3 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder

Preparation

1

Preheat oven to 350F/ 180C and spray 40 cupcake wells of two mini muffin tins with cooking spray.

2

In a large bowl blend the cupcake mix with the other cupcake ingredients.

3

Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop 1 scoop into each muffin liner. Bake 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.

4

Cinnamon Swirl Icing: While the cupcakes are cooking and cooling, prepare the icing.

5

In one medium size bowl use electric beaters to whip the cream cheese with the icing sugar.

6

In another medium size bowl whip the butter with the brown sugar and the cinnamon.

7

Put each of the whipped mixtures into their own pipping bag (or use plastic bags and cut the corners for pipping). Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap and pipe alternating stripes of the icing mixtures side by side. Roll the plastic wrap such that you form a cylinder containing the stripes lengthwise. Cut the tip of the cylinder and insert the cylinder into a piping bag fitted with a swirl tip. Decorate each mini cupcake with a little swirl of icing.
