Cupcakes

Today is Bosses Day, so last night I made cupcakes to bring to work. This is not some fancy recipe, I used a box mix for the cupcakes. But what really makes these amazing is the frosting. Homeade buttercream frosting. It is wonderful and worth every second of making it and cleaning up after making it!

Here is the recipe I use:

2 sticks butter

4 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 T milk

1. Cream butter until fluffy

2. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time mixing well between additions

3. Add vanilla and mix well

4. Slowly add milk, you may not nee the entire 2 T.

5. Add food coloring if desired

This icing is to die for and will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator.

I then used my wonderful icing "bag" (it's really a metal tube from Williams Sonoma) to pipe the icing on each cupcake and topped with sprinkles!

They were a hit! Everyone loved them!
