Came across a recipe the other day and have adapted it to make these little reindeer cakes to take to my great nephew and neice. Who could resist eating these?

200g icing sugar
1tabsp. cocoa

marzipan - for eyes
pretzels - for antlers

Method
1. Pre-heat oven to Gas 5/190C
2. Place 12 large cupcake cases into tray
3. Place all cake ingredients into a large mixing bowl and use an
electric mixer to cream all ingredients together until soft
and fluffy
4. Divide the mixture between the paper cases
5. Bake for 15 - 20 mins until soft and springy to touch
6. Cool on a wire rack whilst you make the butter-cream
7. Place margarine, icing sugar and cocoa into a bowl and use electric mixer to

8. Place a heaped teaspoon of mixture onto the top of each cup-cake, spread around

So cute, can you possibly eat them.
