  • To make the icing mix together  the butter and the icing sugar, then add the butter extract flavouring and mix in
  • Use a cupcake corer to make a hole in the middle of each cupcake. Fill the holes with the caramel using a piping bag with the end snipped off, or a teaspoon
  • Put the icing into a piping bag with a star or rose nozzle. Swirl the icing onto the cupcakes then sprinkle gold glitter all over
  • Store in an airtight container in a cool place, eat leftovers within 3 days
