Slowly mix that into your main bowl until everything is nicely blended together. Pour your batter into your cup cake liners in the pan and set your timer for 20-24 minutes

While your cupcakes cook get the ingredients you will need for your frosting.

Frosting:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup softened butter
1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-2 tablespoons milk

Mix in your powdered sugar, butter and vanilla together. Stir in 1 tablespoon of milk with this and gradually add more until your frosting has the constancy that you are looking for. The less milk you use the thicker your frosting will be consequently the more milk you use the thinner your frosting will be.

Once your cupcakes come out of the oven let them cool for a few minutes then frost them. Don’t hesitate to decorate them with candies or sprinkles.
