  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

  • After baking, let cupcakes cool in the pan for some minutes, then move to a wire rack to fully cool.
  • Prepare the frosting by creaming 3/4 cup butter while the cupcakes cool. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy. Once cooled, frost cupcakes with the funfetti and add extra sprinkles.
