Sprinkles (California) Cupcake Frosting

At the last GOMOTT meeting one of the girls made cupcakes to share. She bounded over to me and proclaimed she made them just for me. I admit, I felt pretty special. :-) Anyway, I raved over how cute they were and immediately ate one. (I then proceeded to sneak out of the meeting to grab a second one when no one was looking, but don't tell anyone!) I asked her for the frosting recipe, because really, that's why I even eat cupcakes. She shared her recipe with me, and I'm going to share it with you.

This stuff is great. It's perfect to use when you want to put a fancy decorator tip on a piping bag and decorate away. I only wish I had a picture to share of her cupcakes. So good!
