Simple cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting are a great base for decorating. Their appearance doesn't distract from the decorating, and their classic flavor pairs well with any decorative elements, whether candies, chocolate, marshmallows, or jelly beans. Basic cupcakes are baked with a minimal set of ingredients: flour, butter, eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla. The frosting is whipped together using butter and powdered sugar. Spread it on completely cooled cupcakes and decorate them with any decoration of your choice. A great idea is to decorate the tops with various flowers in the form of candy petals, which easily adhere to the frosting.
