Ingredients

White chocolate cupcakes
Ghost frosting

Method

1.Preheat oven to 170ยฐC (150ยฐC fan-forced). Line muffin pans (โ…“-cup/80ml capacity) with paper cases.
2.Stir the butter, white chocolate, sugar and milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until smooth โ€“ do not let it boil. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl; cool for 15 minutes.
3.Whisk sifted flours into white chocolate mixture, then add eggs and vanilla. Drop ยผ cups (60ml) of mixture into cases. Bake for about 25 minutes or until cooked when tested. Cool on wire racks.
4.Make ghost frosting: Combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a medium saucepan; stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring to the boil; boil for 3-4 minutes or until syrupy.
5.In the medium bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually pour in the hot syrup in a thin, steady stream, beating constantly, until thick and glossy. Continue beating until mixture cools to room temperature.
6.Spoon frosting into a large piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm plain nozzle. Pipe a swirl to resemble a ghost onto each cupcake. Position jellybeans onto each ghost to resemble eyes.

Uniced cupcakes suitable to freeze. Not suitable to microwave.
