shelf in the oven for 16-18 minutes until risen, lightly golden and
just firm to the touch. Transfer on to a wire rack to cool.
4. To decorate, dust the work surface lightly with icing sugar. Divide
the Ready to Roll Icing into 6 equal sized pieces. Working on
one piece at a time, flatten slightly and drop the desired amount
of the first Gel Food Colour on top of the icing. Fold the icing
over the Gel Food Colour to enclose it and carefully knead it
into the icing until evenly mixed. Wrap each coloured portion
in cling film to prevent it from drying out. Repeat the process,
to colour the additional portions of icing using the different Gel
Food Colours.
5. When ready to decorate, roll out each coloured piece of icing.
Stamp out two, 6cm (2 1/4inch) discs, two, 3cm (1 1/4inch)

1/4inch) discs of each colour, cut out the centre using a 2cm
(3/4inch) cutter to make a ring and another circle.
6. Brush the top of each cupcake with Apricot Glaze or honey
and stick one of the largest icing discs on top to completely
cover the cake top. Decorate with various sizes and colours of
icing circles, and secure on top in patterns using a light brushing
of water.

bag fitted with a 1cm (1/2inch) 7 pt star nozzle. Gently squeeze
the icing down the bag to reach the nozzle and twist the bag
closed.
7. Starting in the centre of the cake, pipe the icing clockwise in a
circular motion until the top of each cake is fully covered. Put the
cakes on a board, spaced apart and chill for about 30 minutes to
firm.

plate. Take one cupcake at a time and push a cocktail stick
halfway through the paper case into the centre of the cake.
Push the rest of the stick into the centre of the polystyrene.
Continue the process using another 6 cupcakes to cover the top
of the polystyrene.

cakes and hold in place using a few pins. Tie the ribbon around

Makes: 40
Ingredients
125g (4 1/2oz) unsalted butter, softened
125g (4 1/2oz) caster sugar
1 large egg yolk
250g (9oz) plain flour
7.5ml (1 1/2 tsp) Dr. Oetker Baking Powder
(Gluten Free)
Dr. Oetker Cake Release Spray
To Decorate
1kg Dr. Oetker Regal-Ice Ready to
Roll White Icing
Dr. Oetker Gel Food Colours
Icing sugar for dusting
Dr. Oetker Apricot Glaze or honey
Dr. Oetker Red Writing Icing
Heart &
Flower Cookies
Method
1. Spray 3 large baking trays with Cake Release Spray to grease.
Place the butter and caster sugar into a bowl and whisk until pale
and creamy. Whisk in the egg yolk.
2. Sieve over the flour and Baking Powder and carefully mix
together to make a mixture that resembles a crumble topping.
Using your hands, bring the mixture together to form a firm
dough. Turn on to a lightly floured surface and knead until
smooth and pliable.
3. Roll out the dough to a thickness no greater than 1/2cm
(1/4inch). Using a 6cm (2 1/2inch) wide heart shaped cutter
and a 6cm flower shaped cutter stamp out approx. 40 cookies,
re-rolling the dough as necessary. Arrange on the prepared
baking trays, prick lightly with a fork and chill for 30 minutes. Ten
minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 180˚C (160˚C fan
assisted oven, 350˚F, gas mark 4).
4. Bake the cookies for around 10 minutes until firm and lightly
golden round the edges. Leave to cool on the baking trays for
10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. To decorate, divide the white Ready to Roll Icing into 5 equal
portions. Keep one portion white. Dust the work surface lightly
with icing sugar. Working on each of the other portions one at
a time, flatten slightly and drop the desired amount of Gel Food
Colours on top. Fold the icing over the gel to enclose it and
carefully knead it into the icing until evenly mixed. Wrap each
portion in cling film to prevent it from drying out whilst working on
the next colour.
6. When ready to decorate, roll out each coloured piece of icing.
Stamp out a range of different sized hearts and flowers from the
different coloured icings and put to one side.
7. Brush the top of the cookies with Dr.Oetker Apricot Glaze or
honey and layer with the biggest icing heart or flower to match
the cookie shape. Continue to then layer the shaped icing on top
to create the layered design using a light brushing of water to
secure the icing. Finish the flower cookies by adding a small
dot of Red Writing Icing in the centre.
