I am using red velvet cupcakes for the christmas themed cupcakes. I made the cupcakes using an instant mix. Feel free to use your favorite cupcakes.





To make the buttercream beat butter until light and fluffy. Approx 5 - 10 min. Add condensed milk to taste and beat until combined. Add food coloring and mix again.

Transfer buttercream to a piping bag.





Time to decorate the cupcakes! Pipe buttercream on top of the cupcake. Use mini oreo cookies for mickey mouse ears.
