Step-by-step

1. Find yourself a suitable cooking area: an RV, laundromat super-lab, or fake pest-control business, depending on what stage of the plotline you’re at.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F/180C/165C fan assisted/gas mark 4.Line a 12-hole muffin pan with paper cups.
3. Put all the cake ingredients except the colour and milk into a large bowl and beat with a handheld electric mixer or wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
4. Add blue colour little by little until the mix is a strong blue. Add enough milk to give a ‘dropping’ consistency.
5. Divide the mix into the paper cups.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until well risen, golden brown and firm to the touch. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. To make the buttercream frosting: beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Gently add half the confectioners’ sugar and beat until smooth.
8. Add the remaining confectioners’ sugar with a little milk, adding more as necessary to make a light fluffy icing.
9. Add the yellow food colouring little by little and mix until well combined.
10. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and pipe swirls onto the cupcakes. Add shards of blue 'meth' crunch to complete the look.
