HOW TO MAKE CUPCAKES WITH SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERCREAM

To make the cupcakes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160° Fan, 350°F, Gas 4 while you combine the butter, Lyle's Golden Syrup, Golden Caster Sugar, flour, eggs and milk together in a bowl. Beat with a mixer until soft and creamy.

Step 2

Divide the mixture between paper cases in a 12-hole muffin tin and bake on the middle shelf for 20-25 minutes until well risen and golden brown (and they spring back when lightly pressed with a finger). Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool while you make the buttercream.

To make the buttercream

Step 1

Cream the sugar and butter together until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 2

Fold in the dulce de leche, vanilla and salt until combined.

Step 3

Separate out 3 tablespoons of the buttercream mixture into a separate bowl and add a small amount of green food colouring until it is the desired colour.

Step 4

Add orange food colouring to the remainder (and majority) of the mixture until a pumpkin orange shade is achieved.

Step 5

Using a piping bag, pipe a pumpkin shape with the orange buttercream, before using a new piping bag filled with green buttercream to add the leaves on top.

Step 6

Allow to firm in the fridge for a few hours before serving.
