Let cupcakes fully cool before frosting.

6. While the cupcakes are cooling, let’s make the frosting. Start by beating your butter and cream cheese together until light and creamy.

7. Next, slowly add your powdered sugar in 1 cup at a time mixing in between until smooth.

8. Lastly, add your vanilla extract and beat one last time until smooth and creamy.

9. To decorate we used Wilton tip 1M and Wilton tip 32 to frost. Garnish with a little Cadbury chocolate egg for an Easter touch!

Ta-da! 😋😁🐣
