Cupcakes

Hey Guys!
Rain here. Today I decided it would be fun to decorate some cupcakes.
This is what they look like.

I used butter cream icing & cake mix from the store.
Here's the recipe for medium consistency butter cream icing. :)

Ingredients (makes about 3 cups of icing):
-1/2 cup vegetable shortening
-1 stick of butter
-1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
-4 cups sifted confectioners sugar
-2 tablespoons milk

Directions:
Cream the shortening & butter together with an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla.
Gradually add the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed.
When all sugar has been mixed in, the icing will appear dry.
Add the milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
