What About Frosting? Your choice! These cupcakes are a basic white variety and can be frosting with just about any type of frosting.

Our cupcakes are frosted with a basic vanilla buttercream dyed green and red. I then used the tye dye decorating method.
How to Make:

- 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.
