For the cupcakes: preheat the oven to 180°C (160° fan) 350°F gas 4. Place paper cases in a 12 hole bun tin.

Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs until blended.

Spoon into the paper cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and risen. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

Roll out the white sugarpaste with an embossed rolling pin on a surface dusted with cornflour and icing sugar. Cut out small rounds with a scalloped edged cutter, the same diameter as the cakes.
