Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 190°C / fan 170°C / gas 5. Butter a 12 hole muffin tin.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar with electric whisk.
  • Add the eggs and mix.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, vanilla extract and continue to whisk together until everything is combined.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tins and bake for 15-20 minutes. While the cakes are in the oven, make the blueberry compote.
  • Add half the blueberries to a pan on a medium heat along with the sugar, lemon juice and water. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the rest of the blueberries and cook for a further 5 minutes. Take off the heat and let the compote cool.
  • Take the cakes out of the oven and transfer to a metal rack. While the cakes are cooling make the frosting.
  • Cream the butter on its own for about 5 minutes on a medium speed.
  • Sift the icing sugar into the creamed butter and then mix together on a slow speed. Gradually increase the speed until it forms a thick paste.
  • Add the milk if needed, then whisk together for one minute.
  • Separate the mixture into two bowls. Add the food colouring to each, stir in until you have the colour of your choice.
  • Cut a hole out of the centre of each cake and place in a small amount of the blueberry compote.
  • Put the two types of frosting into the separate sections of the piping bag. Pipe each cake and place on the sugar eyes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
