What About Frosting? Your choice! These cupcakes are a basic white variety and can be frosting with just about any type of frosting. At the bottom of this post, you can find a list of frosting suggestions or you can browse the frosting section of the recipe index for more ideas. Our cupcakes are frosted with a basic vanilla buttercream dyed green and red. I then used the tye dye decorating method.
How to Make:
- First, whisk together your dry ingredients and set aside.
- Next, with an electric mixer with whisk attachment, whisk egg whites until foamy. Increase speed slightly and continue until stiff peaks form. Set those aside.
- In a clean mixing bowl, beat softened butter with sugar. Then, gradually add in dry ingredients and ice water. Alternating between the two .
- Finally, fold the beaten egg whites into the batter. Be sure to fold, not mix.
- Divide the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake!
- Be sure to let them cool completely before frosting.
