This is the recipe for Magnolia's buttercream frosting, and wow is it sweet. I actually had to run back to the grocery store to get another box of powdered sugar.
I think I got a sugar contact high just mixing the 6 cups (that is nearly 2 full boxes) of powdered sugar.
The easy part was mixing. Just slightly more challenging was deciding which 3 color combinations to make based on the options on the back of the food coloring box. All three colors were adapted anyway.
I started by spreading a layer of icing on each cupcake. Then onto the fun part- the decorating. Inspired by my new Martha Stewart icing set, I filled bag one with pink frosting and the leaf-tip fixture, envisioning delicate daisies and intricate designs. The frosting oozed out the top of the bag. For the yellow and teal, I sliced off a corner of a zip-lock instead, put the tip in the bag, and spooned in the frosting.
The results were not exactly Martha-Stewart pretty.
