Butterfly Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    250 g unsalted butter
    1 cup caster sugar
    2 eggs
    2 1/2 cups self-raising flour
    1 cup milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla essence
    300 ml freshly whipped cream
    12 fresh strawberries, sliced in half
    icing sugar, for dusting
Preparation
    Cream butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy.
    Add eggs one at a time, beating each in until combined. Add sifted flour, milk and vanilla essence.
    Spoon mixture into patty tins lined with paper patty cups. Bake in moderate oven (190C.) towards the top of the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
    Slice tops off cooled cakes, and fill cakes with freshly whipped cream. Carefully cut tops in half lengthways and arrange these 'butterfly wings' on the cream.
    Place a strawberry half in the centre of the wings. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
    and EAT! :D.
