Icing (I had to double the recipe you you might want to as well...this is the original one)
4 tablespoons butter, room temp
2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk

* In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla and gradually add milk. Beat until light and smooth. Add more milk as needed until the desired consistency is reached.

Ice the cupcakes and then sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture on the top. I also dusting mine with shimmer powder and placed little edible pearls on them.
