Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 drops black food coloring
- 1 drop Pink gel food coloring
- 2 drops teal gel food coloring
- 1 drop purple gel food coloring
Instructions
- Let your butter come to room temperature. Beat your butter so that it's smooth and slowly whisk in your powdered sugar. Whisk until well combined.
- Whisk in your vanilla extract and whisk until your buttercream is light and fluffy.
- Divide the buttercream into 4 bowls and add a different color of gel food coloring to each bowl (black, pink, purple, teal).
- Plop all the colors into one piping bag with a star tip, and pipe on top of your cupcakes.
- Using a baking paintbrush, flick white food coloring over the tops to give a nice starstruck effect. Repeat with your luster dust. Sprinkle your edible glitter stars over the top and enjoy!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
