STEP 1
Use an electric mixer to beat the butter in a bowl until very pale. Gradually add icing sugar, beating well after each addition. Beat in the milk and peppermint essence.

Brush 4 stripes of the food colouring inside a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle. Add the buttercream and pipe over cupcakes. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes to decorate.
