Superbowl Cupcakes

Made these vanilla cupcakes with caramel frosting. Found the idea on pinterest. After frosting I dipped them in green sprinkles and used a little icing to stick the football icing decos on top.

3. In mixer combine sugar and butter and beat until smooth
4. Add eggs, milk and vanilla, stir till combined

7. Let cool before icing.
