Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C and line two 12-hole cupcake tins with paper cases.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl with an electric whisk.
  • Whisk the milk, vanilla and eggs in a jug.
  • Gradually add the milk mixture to the dry ingredients and beat until smooth.
  • Stir the mashed bananas into the batter.
  • Fill the cases and place one brazil nut into the center of each cupcake.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the sponges spring back when pressed.
  • Cool the cupcakes in the tin briefly then transfer them to a wire rack.
  • Roll out and cut the skin-toned icing into circles to cover the cupcake tops.
  • Roll out and cut the black fondant to create hair shapes for the geishas.
  • Draw facial features with an edible ink pen and attach the hair using water or glue.
