Add one third of the flour to the large bowl with butter and blend to combine, then add one third of the milk and combine. Continue alternating until all the milk and dry ingredients are combined.

To make your frosting add butter, salt, and vanilla to a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until it looks like mayonnaise. Slowly add in powdered sugar until the frosting reaches the consistency of your liking. Wait for Cupcakes to cool completely before frosting them. I used a 1 inch round tip on a pastry bag to pipe frosting. You can also use a large plastic Ziplock bag With one corner snipped off. Enjoy!
