I made these cupcakes for a baby shower and they were a huge hit!

These are from the book Hello Cupcake, but if you are looking for instructions check out their blog.

1 1/2 c. unsalted butter, room temperature

4 c. confectioners' sugar, sifted

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

With an electric mixer on medium, beat butter until pale and creamy. Add confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Make sure each batch is fully incorporated before adding more. After every two additions increase the mixer speed to high for 10 seconds to aerate the frosting.

Add vanilla extract and beat until frosting is smooth. (can be refrigerated for up to 10 days if stored in an air tight container).
