Birthday Cupcakes with Butter Icing

Kathleen is turning 8 today, and every year Kathleen always brings cupcakes to celebrate her birthday with her friends in class. This year Kathleen comes up an idea to have a Pirate theme for her cupcakes with purple frosting on top. Kathleen loves pirate theme, she even have a character program in her figure skating. What a cool idea I thought!

I chatted to my friends at work about Kathleen’s birthday that is coming up soon. Surprisingly, one day I got a phone call at work from one of my friend Jolene Herlitzke-Foss who went shopping at Sonoma, and she found the coolest pirate toppers for the cupcakes. I was so excited and thrilled and decided to buy it for Kathleen. Thank you Jolene for your kindness.

The cupcakes is super easy to make, practically I used the stored bought cake mix. I like to make my own butter frosting and top it with any topping you want to make it prettier.

Ingredients
• 3 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 2 Lbs of confection sugar
• 9 Tbsp of milk or water
• 3 tsp of vanilla extract
• Food coloring to your favorite color

How to make
• Mix butter with a mixer
• Slowly add confection sugar, milk, vanilla, and food coloring
• Continue to mix in low speed for 1-2 minutes until it blends
