Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place 12 cupcake liners in a muffin tin.

  • In a large bowl cream together the butter, sour cream, and sugar. Add in the egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Add half the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well.

  • Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until combined. Gently stir in the sprinkles.
  • Divide the batter between the muffin cups filling each one 3/4 of the way full.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 minutes before removing the cupcakes from the muffin tin and cooling completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the frosting place the butter in a bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy.
  • Add in the powdered sugar a half cup at a time, mixing after each addition, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Mix in the milk and vanilla and beat on medium high for 2 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar if needed.
  • To decorate the simple way place the frosting in a piping bag with a star tip and put a large swirl on each one. Sprinkle with the sprinkles.
  • To decorate the other way place 1/4 of the frosting in a zip top baggie and cut 1/2 inch off the end. Pipe a ring around the outer edge of each cupcake and dip into sprinkles.
  • Place the rest of the frosting in a piping bag with a star tip and pipe a swirl into the middle of each cupcake and top with a few more sprinkles.
