Decorating Valentines Cupcakes

Cupcakes with just a little extra. Put a ring on it! My first real time decorating cupcakes. You can laugh at me, but please do not be too ugly. Buttercream Recipe: 2 sticks butter (227 grams) pinch of salt (1/4 teaspoon) 1 pound confectioners sugar (454 grams) 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract 8 Tablespoons heavy cream or milk (1/2 cup) This recipe will be enough for 10 to 12 cupcakes when using this much frosting on the cupcakes. I tried one time a few years ago to pipe frosting and it never worked. This time I wasn't going to give up. I ended up using a bit more frosting on the cupcakes to cover the bottoms of the candy Ring Pops. I apologize for not showing that. I used a regular cake mix for the cupcakes... you can use any you like. To make a cake mix taste better follow the cake box recipe but add: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 Tablespoons sour cream 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise Bake per box instructions! Much better! The silver shimmer spray works better if you allow the icing to set up with a bit of a crust. Thank you for watching!
