Copycat Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes Recipe

Buttercream being mixed
Add a small drop of gel food coloring and mix thoroughly.
How to Ice Cupcakes
Place a piping bag into a large cup to hold upright, then scoop the prepared icing into the bag.
Gently squeeze the icing down to the end of the bag to remove air bubbles then twist the top to secure.
Trim the end of the bag off creating a medium-sized opening.
Starting at the outside, pipe the icing in a circle ending in the middle of the cupcake. Best results with using consistent light pressure as the icing flow out of the bag.

Notes
Gel food color is the best choice for dying frosting as it spreads evenly and does not add too much moisture to the mixture.
