How to Frost Princess Cupcakes

Princess cupcakes are a great addition to any birthday party or children's get-together. Save money and exercise your creativity by making your own princess cupcakes instead of purchasing them. Once you have made your own icing and frosted the cupcakes, decorate them with a princess theme. Add this to my Recipe Box.

Making Icing

Place the butter and milk in a bowl and allow them to sit outside of the refrigerator until they have reached room temperature.

Mix the butter until it is smooth. Use an electric mixer if you have one. A spoon or a fork will work as well.

Add the icing sugar slowly, stirring constantly. Continue to stir until the mixture is smooth and is easy to spread. Add three drops of red food coloring and mix until you have obtained a pink hue to enhance the princess theme.

Add a spoonful of icing to the top of each cupcake and distribute it evenly with a knife.

Decorations

Press candy decorations onto the icing. You can purchase glittery sprinkles, pink and white sprinkles, or metallic candy pearls. Arrange the candies into designs or sprinkle them all over the cupcakes.

Draw designs or write letters on the cupcakes using an icing pen in a color that contrasts with the pink frosting, such as red. Emphasize the princess theme by drawing bows or tiaras on the desserts.

Purchase small plastic princess toys and press them into the icing of the cupcakes. Allow party guests to choose their favorite mythological princesses and keep them as party favors.
