Jelly Baby Muffins!

A friend of mine is due her second baby in the next few weeks, and it seemed only fitting to have a party to celebrate his imminent arrival. 
So all things 'baby' were prepared including 'Boiled Egg Prams', Mandarin Sail Boats on sparkling blue jelly, and lots of games where we had to guess the size of the Bump, identify the baby food flavours and write down our wish list for the new arrival.

My contribution was to bake muffins, so I decide to throw together some dried tropical fruits, coat them with blue cream cheese icing, and top them each off with a Jelly Baby.

In a large bowl mix together:
375g self-raising flour
220g caster sugar
a sprinkling of nutmeg

In a small bowl mix together:
90g melted butter
half cup sour cream
quarter cup milk
2 large eggs
vanilla essence

Mix the wet into the dry ingredients
Stir in:
1 cup mixed dried tropical fruits, mango, pineapple, and top up with mixed berries if needed.

Divide the mixture into 12 muffin cases
Bake on Gas 5/6 for 20-25 minutes
Leave in the tin for a few minutes before moving onto a wire rack to cool

Once cool make up the icing:
mix half a tub of cream cheese 
with blue food colouring 
and a tablespoon of caster sugar

Dollop it on the cool muffins and top with jelly babies

Eat the remaining jelly babies before anyone else notices!
