Filled Cupcakes
This is probably the easiest recipe for filled cupcakes. The shortening and butter give the icing a stable consistency. However, make sure you cool your cupcakes completely before filling them. The icing will melt if the cake is too hot!
Ingredients:
- 1 batch of your favorite cupcakes baked and cooled
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 Tbsps milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
Step 1: Beat softened butter and shortening together in a medium size bowl.
Step 2: Slowly add sugar and milk until well incorporated.
Step 3: Add vanilla.
Makes enough to fill 20 small cupcakes.
