Have fun with these cupcakes. While this recipe calls for decorating the cupcakes in a certain way, you can switch it up! Place a paper plate underneath the cupcake, so that the kids make as minimal of a mess as possible. Easier clean-up for the parents.
Make sure that your butter is at room temperature before making your frosting. If your butter is not softened you will not have a smooth and creamy frosting.
Change up the sprinkles to match your party theme.
Be careful to not overmix your cupcake batter. Overmixing can cause your cupcakes to be tough.
Cupcakes are done when they are firm to the touch.
If you are using a homemade cupcake batter, use apple cider or champagne in place of milk.

Store in an airtight container for up to three days.
