cuuuuupcakes

I love cupcakes. Big ones. I made these for Kaiseys baby shower. After making these, It made me like cupcakes not so much. I could never be a baker; it would be way too much work. But here is the frosting recipe for them. For the cake part I just use good ol' cake mix. But I bake them in big texas muffin tins so they are extra big.

Best Frosting Ever

3 bars butter
5 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 Tb whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

then for vanilla frosting
add an extra tsp vanilla

and for almond frosting (my favorite)
add 1 tsp almond extract

Make sure the butter is room temperature before you start. Cream the butter until it is fluffy. Add the powdered sugar a cup or so at a time. Then add the vanilla and whipping cream and extra flavoring.
