  1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/160˚C fan/gas mark 4 and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Fold in the flour and add the milk. Spoon into the cases and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together all of  the ingredients for the buttercream until smooth. Add a splash of extra milk if the icing is too thick.
  5. Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with your nozzle of choice and pipe onto the cooled cupcakes. Decorate the cupcakes with different types of sprinkles.
