Cupcakes

I made some mini cupcakes for a friend's xmas party on the weekend. I used this recipe (super simple, delicious, and made about 70 mini cupcakes) from Martha, and the cream cheese frosting (see below). Both definitely worth using if you are making cupcakes.

Cream Cheese Frosting

4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar (I used maybe 2 cups - don't think you need 3 - and nice not to have it super sweet, plus I had Xmas sprinkles on top which were sweet).

In a medium bowl beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
