These little cupcakes are pretty standard cupcakery...but...(and it’s a big Butt) add this frosting recipe and you are in knock out territory. Of course some of you might skip the frosting and just dust with icing sugar or something equally tres cliche. BUT DON’T skip the frosting. Trust me. You will find a new passion. This will become your new go-to-frosting-icing recipe that you can use across all sorts of cakes. It is D.I.V.I.N.E. (If I say so myself.) And yes, you’re welcome.
