Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/160C fan assisted/gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper muffin cases. Put all the cake ingredients except the colour, milk and jam into a large bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.

  2. Add enough milk to give a ‘dropping’ consistency. Divide the mix between the paper cases, holding back about half for covering. Make a small well in each mix, and add a tablespoon of the jam. Cover each with the remaining mix. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

  3. To make the buttercream: beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Gently add half the icing sugar and beat until smooth. Add the remaining icing sugar with a little milk, adding more as necessary to make a light fluffy icing. Add the pink food colouring little by little and mix until well combined. Spread about a third of the butter icing over the cupcakes, then spoon the remaining icing into a piping bag fitted with a large, plain nozzle and pipe cranial swirls on top of each cake.

  4. The arrow is created using a chocolate stick and fizzy sweets, held together with a little edible glue (or melted chocolate). The knife is created using the sweet bar, sprayed black and silver (with a chocolate drop for the rivet). With a paintbrush, apply the black and red food colour to create the entry wounds. Remember, nothing less than a head shot will do, so aim well.
