You can buy ready made at spotlight for moulding your own or if you want to pipe them then I use this, it is lovely. READY IN: 10mins
SERVES: 30
YIELD: 30 cupcakes
UNITS: US
Ingredients
Nutrition
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
6 -8 cups confectioners' sugar
1⁄2 cup milk

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add 6 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until light and fluffy. If necessary, gradually add remaining 2 cups sugar to reach desired consistency.
