Easy Cupcakes

In the mood for cupcakes recently. Here's an easy topping recepie for those of you who don't have cream in your fridge. All u need is butter, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and of course the vanilla cupcake.

Tip!
After the cupcakes are ready, cool them upside down so that the bottom the the cupcakes don't get soggy.

Ingredients
125g butter
1 teaspppn vanila extract
1.5 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk

Method
  • Beat the butter and the vanilla essence with a mixer until as white as possible
  • Gradually beat in the icing sugar and milk
The final mixture should look like this


You can then use this mixture to put on the cupcakes

If you want a chocolate topping, simply mix in 1 tablespoon of coaca powder into the mixture.


Decorate the cupcakes with anything u can think of!! I used pods chocolate, chocolate shavings and m&ms. Then, simply refrigerate overnight and its ready. Enjoy!
