Ingredients

Cream Cheese Frosting

Method

1.

Line five 12-hole mini muffin pans with paper cases (1½-tbs capacity)

3.

Cook, two pans at a time, in a moderately slow oven (160°C) for about 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centres comes out clean. Stand in pans for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining mixture.

4.

To make frosting, beat cheese and butter in a small bowl of an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add icing sugar, beating until thick. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with ½cm star nozzle.
