Bun cases!

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas mark 6, and set out the bun cases (preferably onto bun trays, but a baking tray will do. Just be sure to double up the bun cases if you're using a baking tray, for a bit of extra strength).
Mix all the cake ingredients together in a bowl, and mix quickly with a wooden spoon until soft and creamy. Split the mix into two bowls, and in one bowl add some cocoa powder. Put about 1 teaspoon of each mixture into each bun case. They should look something like this:





Cook the buns in the oven for about 15 minutes or until browned. Now, they are ready to decorate!

To make the icing, gently melt the butter (mixed with the water) in a pot. Don't boil. Mix into the icing sugar, and like with the cake mix, split into two bowls and add cocoa powder to one of them. Decorate, and eat!
