Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 160c.

3. Divide the mixture into cupcake/muffin cases and bake in the pre-heated oven for 15 – 20 mins. A skewer should come out clean when prodded into the cake. Leave to cool.
4. Once fully cooled, make the buttercream icing.
5. Gradually beat the icing sugar into the butter then add the Florida Grapefruit juice and food colouring (optional). Pipe straight away.
6. Top with more Florida Grapefruit segments, sprinkles, glitter or whatever else you fancy.
