Preheat the oven to gas 4/180 degrees. Line muffin tin with 12 paper cases. In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
In a bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs, one by one, until smooth. Fold in the flour and the hundreds and thousands until fully incorporated
Fill each case with a spoonful of the mixture and bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Measure egg whites and powdered sugar into a bowl.Using the paddle attachment, beat on medium/high for 5 minutes until it is white and glossy.
Set mixer to medium, gradually add butter making sure all combined before adding next piece.
Once all the butter is incorporated then beat for 5-10 minutes on medium/high until light and fluffy.
To help remove larger air bubbles that may have formed, I reduce it to a low setting and let it mix for approx 2 minutes.
*Split the buttercream between four bowls and add the different gel colours and mix up until incorporated.
Once the buttercream is ready, fill a piping bag with a spoonful of each colour that has a star nozzle on the end and pipe on to the cooled cupcakes and top with more hundreds and thousands.

*You dont need to add food colouring to your buttercream if you don't want to. Also you don't have to use the same colours as me.
