Easter won't be till over a month and I'm not religious, but I'll use Easter as an excuse to make cute cupcakes the coming weeks! A couple of weeks ago I found 4 cupcake sprinkles for only $1,50, so today I used of them. I went with the theme of little chicks and used lots of yellow and white buttercream. You can use any flavor cupcakes and any type of buttercream frosting.
Buttercream Icing recipe:
Ingredients:- 1 cup of confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons soft unsalted butter
- 3 or more tablespoons milk
- Food coloring
Instructions:1. In a large bowl sift the confectionars' sugar.
2. Add and mix the remaining ingredients with an electrix mixer on low speed until blended.
3. Add more milk if needed.
(only add 1/2 tablespoon at a time, there's a very fine line between the right consistency and too runny)Easter candy I bought a couple of days ago.
The frostings. The blue frosting is for the eyes, orange for feet and nose.
