How to make Easter buttercream frosting for cupcakes
To make Easter cupcake frosting from scratch, you’ll need a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, or handheld mixer.
Cream butter. Add softened butter to a bowl and mix 1-2 minutes, scraping every so often, until fluffy.
Add powdered sugar, slowly, and continue mixing until combined for about 1-2 minutes.
Add milk and vanilla extract to frosting, and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
Frosting color note: At this point, I removed half the frosting from the bowl, to make two different cupcake frosting colors: yellow and green.
Add food coloring to buttercream frosting. You can start with a couple drops, then mix until integrated and use more as desired to intensify the frosting color.
Transfer frosting to piping bags, or use ziploc bags as seen in the Sip Bite Go cupcake video. Add frosting and decorate only when cupcakes are completely cool.
