  5. Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or two until well combined and green as the day is long.
  6. Pour the batter into cupcake pan.
  7. Bake for 16 minutes approx. Then, while they’re cooling, you can start making the frosting.
  8. Cream together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and continue mixing. Add in milk as needed to get to the desired consistency.
  9. Now frost and decorate until your little heart is content.
ENJOY!
