Notes

The best birthday cupcakes are made from scratch, and no one will ever know the difference! These delicious treats are delicious and easy to make. Use store bought frosting or whip up your own from scratch! The basic Birthday Cupcake recipe calls for three to four tablespoons of frosting per large or small cupcake, and one or two large or normal muffin liners. Beat the butter and sugar on medium speed for 45 seconds. Add the vanilla and egg white, and mix for another 30 seconds. Sprinkles and mini party hats are a fun finishing touch.
