Yellow Cupcakes with Butter Frosting

I baked these with the help of my five year old son.  After we baked and decorated (he did some of his own), he held up the back drop for the photo session.  We had such a good time that the mess that took me two hours to clean up, was total worth it!

Below is the recipe for the batter, but for the frosting, please click here.
