Method
Preheat oven to 160°C, line a muffin tray with cupcake cases.
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla essence.
Add in the egg and beat well to combine.
Sift in half the flour.
Add in half the milk. Repeat until all ingredients are used, stir to combine.
Distribute the batter evenly among the cupcake cases.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack to cool.
Meanwhile for the icing, beat together the butter, icing sugar and milk to combine. Add in a small drop of red food dye and beat well.
When the cupcakes have cooled, use a knife or spatula to ice the tops of the cupcakes.
Place two choc bits for the eyes.
Cut the marshmallow in half, pinching one of the ends to create the ears. Place it on top of the cupcake.
For the nose, use a toothpick and dab a drop of red food dye to draw on the nose or if you have confetti at home, dab it in a bit of the icing to stick onto the nose.
