As recommended by Mario & Luigi ;-)
 <  Image 1 of 4  > 

I made these cupcakes (with my little brother as cooking sidekick!) based on the mushrooms from the Mario games and a recipe from the book "500 cupcakes & muffins".

They're really simple to make & taste great!

This recipe makes approx 18 cakes.

Based on an original project in a book available here

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to Gas mark 4/ 350'F / 175'C and put 18 cake cases into the muffin tins.

  2. Step 2

    Mix all the ingredients together and beat with an electric wisk for about 3 minutes (or until the mixture is pale and smooth).


  3. Step 3

    Put approx 1 1/2 tsp of mixture into each case and put in the oven for 25 minutes. Then, take them out and let them cool for a bit before putting them onto a cooling rack.

  4. Step 4

    For the icing:
    Beat together the butter, vanilla essence, icing sugar & lemon juice - adding as much red food colouring as required.


  5. Step 5

    Spoon the icing onto the cakes and add three chocolate buttons. Next cut a few of the buttons in half and arrange them at the sides to give the full toadstall effect.

  6. Step 6

    Once the icing has set, remove the cases and add two little chocolate chips on each cake for the eyes (use a little bit of icing to stick them on with).

  7. Step 7

    Step 7

    Eat and enjoy!!
