Method:

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat the oven to 190 °C. Line two muffin pans with paper cups. Mix according to package instructions. Divide chocolate cake mixture between paper cups. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. Leave to cool completely. Cream the butter and peanut butter together until light and fluffy.

Add the milk and cream it in. Add the Icing Mixture and beat it in slowly until well blended. If too stiff add another tablespoon or two of milk. Spoon half of the mixture into the piping bag fitted with the orange nozzle. Use a small sharp pointed knife, held at an angle, and cut a cone out of the top of each cupcake.

Pipe the hollow with peanut butter icing. Cut the cupcake cones in half and place the halves at a 45° angle onto the icing as shown in picture. Pipe with a little row of rosettes between the Butterfly wings.
