190 g Butter, softened (¾ cup + 1 tablespoon)
190 g White sugar (1 cup) caster/superfine sugar is best
1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
3 Medium Eggs
190 g Self-rising flour (1+½ cups)
Green food colouring add a little bit at a time until you get your desired colour
80 g Halloween confetti sprinkles (½ cup) plus more for topping the cupcakes

Preheat your oven to 160℃/320℉ (or 140℃/280℉ if you're using a fan or convection oven). Line a cupcake tin with 12 cases.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until soft and fluffy then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the flour and the eggs, a little bit at a time, until you have a smooth, thick cake batter.
Stir in the green food colouring then add the sprinkles.
Divide the batter between your 12 cases and bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick through the middle comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Add the butter to a bowl and mix in half of the icing sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Once that's smooth, add the rest of the icing sugar and the other tablespoon of milk.
Stir the vanilla extract and purple food colouring into the frosting then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle.
Pipe some frosting onto each cupcake then top with remaining confetti sprinkles.
