• Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, Gas Mark 4). 
• Line a muffin tin with muffin cases.

Decorating The Cupcakes:

• Lightly sprinkle a dusting of icing sugar to a clean work surface
• Knead your Regal-Ice Icing gently to soften it. Cut off a 40g (1 ½ oz) piece and keep covered. Divide the remaining Icing into 3 equal portions.
• Working on one piece at a time, flatten slightly and add 5 drops of Food Colouring on top of the icing. Fold the Icing over the Gel to enclose it and carefully knead it into the Icing until evenly mixed. Continue adding Gel Food Colour, 5 drops at a time, until you achieve the desired colour – use icing sugar to dust your fingers if the Icing gets sticky. 
• Wrap in cling film to prevent drying out. 
• Repeat the process to colour the other two portions of Icing using the other Gel Food Colours. – *you will require around 60 drops of Ultra Violet, 60 drops of Lime Green and 90 drops of Neon Orange to achieve the most vibrant shades*
• Take the remaining smaller piece of Regal-Ice Icing and gradually work in Jet Black Gel Food Colour as above to make a dark shade – you will need to use the whole tube to achieve true black. 
• Wrap and set aside.
• Using a teaspoon, carefully spoon out a portion of cake from the centre of each cake and put 5ml (1tsp) jam into the hole. Press the scooped out cake pieces back on top.
• Roll out the different coloured Icings into 12cm squares and a thickness of 0.5cm. 
• Take small pieces of the Black Icing and form into small balls. Place random pieces on each of the coloured icing squares.
• Press the black pieces gently with your finger, then gently roll the squares flat with a rolling pin,
• Cut out rounds using a plain cutter from each rolled out square of Icing. 
• Brush the top of each cupcake with the remaining jam and stick an Icing circle on top, pressing down gently to completely cover the cake.
• Once you’ve finished decorating all your cupcakes, it’s time to eat them.
