Step 1
roll out your marzipan on a flat surface sprinkled with a little icing sugar, using a round cutter, cut out 12 discs of marzipan to decorate the tops of the muffins and 12 smaller discs to be baked in the cakes
-
Step 2
next cream the sugars and margarine
{i use an ancient Kenwood mixer} -
Step 3
slowly mix in the eggs
-
Step 4
sift and mix in the flour
add the mixed spice to taste -
Step 5
mix in the raisons by hand
save the liquor that didn't get soaked up -
Step 6
pre-heat your oven to whatever temp you
normally cook cupcakes/muffins -
Step 7
add a small spoonfull of mixture
to each muffin case smooth out a little -
Step 8
add smaller disc of marzipan
then another spoonfull of cake mixture -
Step 9
cook 'em!
not sure how long i cooked them for as i was busy chatting away!
when they are golden brown and spring back to touch
they are done :o) -
Step 10
leave them to cool awhile
then using the saved Ameretto paint the bottoms of the discs of marzipan and stick to muffin top
{he he he}
i painted the tops too
then popped 'em under a medium grill
till they were toasted golden brown. -
Step 11
again leave them to cool
then mix up some icing
add a bit of colouring - i used violet paste
add a little dollop in middle and add eggs then drizzle the icing around the eggs to give impression of a nest
add a little more colour and repeat -
Step 12QUICK EAT THEM - before someone else does!!!
*******
this recipe makes a dozen muffin sized cakes
*******
hopefully this all makes sense
i am a marzipan addict so i make the marzipan tops quite thick - you may want to use less marzipan!
