Cupcake Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line mini muffin pans with mini muffin cups.

Ice: Allow to cool. Then ice.
Icing Instructions
Mix: Using a hand or stand mixer, whip shortening until smooth. Gradually add sugar and mix. It will be stiff. Slowly mix in milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you get a smooth spreadable consistency.
Ice: Spoon icing into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe onto cupcakes in a circular motion.
