Start by pulling the lighter sugar mixture. You can see that at the beginning the mixture is see-through, but as you carry on pulling and twisting the rope, it gets more and more opaque. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until melted. Remove from the oven and cool completely. It’s important to let them completely cool before removing them. Next you need to fill the mould with the crushed candy canes making sure you evenly distribute the slightly larger pieces. Bring the mixture to about 150 C (145-150 depending on the humidity in your kitchen), take off the heat and add your flavour. Fill a large clear jar with as many candy canes as you can. Everyone guesses how many candy canes there are, and the person who guesses closest without going over wins. Group Candy Cane Games

The cupcakes will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in a cool place. You can freeze both the cupcakes and the buttercream. To freeze them separately, wrap the cupcakes well in cling film or put them in an airtight container. The buttercream can be frozen in a sealed tub. To freeze them decorated, freeze the cupcakes on a plate until frozen solid, then carefully wrap in cling film. Remove the clingfilm when you take the cupcakes out of the freezer to defrost, as if they defrost with it still on it could damage the buttercream.

After few minutes the sugar starts to dissolve, but if you test it with a wooden spoon, you can still see sugar crystals that are not fully dissolved. Keep it on very low heat and wait a little longer until all is dissolved.

This is because if you want to add salt to your recipe, you then have complete control of the salt level. Lots of people add salt to enhance the flavour of baked goods, so when you do this you want to know exactly how much you're adding. I personally prefer not to add salt to cakes and cupcakes. However, using a salted butter or baking spread will not affect the bake negatively and won't make it taste salty. Do you have to beat the butter and sugar together for the full 5 minutes? A regular candy cane is traditionally white with red stripes and flavored with peppermint. However, candy canes are now available in a variety of other flavors and colors to suit different preferences. 8. Why do we give peppermint to Christmas?
