Method
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 175°C (347°F) and line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.

  2. 2

    Beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each.

  3. 3

    Fold in the flour and baking powder, then the vanilla and milk. Fold the sprinkles in quickly at the end so the colours don't bleed.

  4. 4

    Divide between the cases and bake 18–20 minutes until they spring back. Cool completely.

  5. 5

    Beat the butter until pale, sift in the icing sugar and beat with the milk until fluffy. Pipe and top with more sprinkles. See the video for the finish.
