The Cupcake:
*If you’re using a box caked mix, you’ll need to add a few tablespoons of cinnamon, and 1 pack of vanilla instant pudding.

2 Eggs
2 Teaspoons of vanilla extract
¼ Cup of vegetable oil
½ Cup of milk
*Bake at 350 for roughly 14-16 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked
The Frosting:
*I use a cinnamon-vanilla buttercream, but you can substitute any icing you wish
1 Cup of unsalted butter, softened
2 ½ Cups of confectioner’s sugar
1-2 Teaspoons of milk
1 Teaspoon of vanilla extract
1-2 Tablespoons of cinnamon (to taste)
*Depending on the consistency, you may want to chill the frosting before you frost
The Decoration:
1) Pipe the cinnamon buttercream onto the cupcakes using any style you wish
2) Mix together cinnamon and sugar using a 1-2 ratio respectively
3) Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top of the frosted products
