Happy Horton Day!

Horton Clover Cupcakes

Prepare cupcakes from a cake mix of your choice. I used a yellow cake mix for these cupcakes.

Butter Frosting

1/3 cup butter, softened
3 & 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 & 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a bowl beat butter until fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar, beating well.
2. Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla extract. Slowly beat in remaining powdered sugar. Beat in additional milk, if needed, to make of spreading consistency. Tint with food coloring, if desired.

I sprinkled pink coconut on top of the cupcakes which I colored using a few drops of red food coloring and a little bit of water.
