INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the cupcakes, according to the box directions, and allow them to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the vanilla and mix.
- Add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating between each ingredient and mix. Add the milk a little at a time to thin out the frosting, as needed.
- Once the frosting is mixed, add to a piping bag with a 1M star tip. Pipe a layer of frosting onto each cupcake.
