1. To make the cupcakes cream the marg and sugar together to get a nice light colour.
2. Add the SR flour, cocoa and baking powder.
3. Once fully mixed add in eggs, the orange grinds and orange juice.
4. Mix through to create a light and airy mixture.
5. Separate the mix into the cup cases and pop into the preheated oven.
6. Melt the chocolate (whichever type you have chosen) in a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Do not allow any of the water to make contact with the chocolate.
7. Allow the cupcakes to cool a little before pouring the melted chocolate evenly over the cupcakes. Allow to cool.
8. Mix the butter and icing sugar together.
9. Melt the white chocolate in a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Allow to cool but not so much as to go back to solid form. Add this chocolate to the butter and icing mix.
10. Immediately fill your piping bag with the white chocolate butter icing.
11. Keep the nozzle at a 90oC angle and pipe 3 blobs on top of each other ensuring the first one makes contact with the cooled chocolate cupcake topping and that they decrease in size.
12. Add a sugar ball onto the top of each white chocolate tree.
13. Sprinkle the cupcakes with edible glitter add a little Christmas magic.
