3. Cut butter into 1" cubes and add one at a time to the mixing bowl, while the mixer is on medium speed. Mix until the crumbs resemble fine sand.
4. With the mixer on low, add eggs one at a time and slowly add the milk and vanilla. Mix until combined.

6. Bake in the preheated for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted to the centre of the cupcake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before icing.

8. Fill bag with prepared buttercream.
9. Pipe a standard swirl to the top of the cupcake, and the rainbow colours will come out beautifully!
