4. Line a 12-hole cupcake tin with cupcake cases and put 1 large tablespoon of mix in each.

To decorate

2. Cut the very end off the piping bags. Over half of the cupcakes, pipe a swirl of plain meringue buttercream and ensure there are no gaps in between them. Smooth down using a palette knife.
3. Crumble biscuits over the buttercream to create a beachy look.
4. Using the 3 shades of blue buttercream, pipe blue waves, white to create crashing waves. Ensure there are no gaps in between the cupcakes.
5. Create a palm tree and beach towel from the modelling paste and place on the cupcakes. 
6. Complete the tropical vibe with Cake Angels Aloha! decorations.
