2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:

How to Decorate Cupcakes: Introduction to the Techniques
Another cupcake decorating idea that many people like to do is a simple swirl. Put buttercream frosting in a piping bag with a star nozzle. Beginning at the outer rim, pipe a circular spiral toward the middle.
Rosettes are beautiful and very easy to make. Using a star-pip tip, start at the center of the cupcake base and spiral around it. This results in a flower-like shape similar to a rose.
If you prefer a neater appearance, flatten the tops of your cupcakes using a knife or spatula, then spread the frosting on them. This is a good starting point for folding in other things, such as sprinkles or edible glitter.
Easy Cupcake Decorating Ideas
After frosting them, you can put sprinkles, edible pearls or glitter as a finishing touch for your cupcakes. These are suitable for beginners because they do not involve any special skills.
Take a portion of your buttercream and put it in different bowls containing different food colors. Use the colorful frosting to pipe your cupcakes, making them look like rainbows and more colorful and fun to eat.
If you wish to go one step further in your creativity, you should go for the fondant types. You can use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. These should be placed over your frosted cupcakes as this gives such a good impression.
Buttercream Cupcake Decorating Ideas
Using two different colors of buttercream frosting, prepare two colours on two opposite sides of a piping bag. When you pipe, it will look like you are having two different flavors when, in reality, it is just the frosting.
Begin with a lighter shade of buttercream and then gradually darken the color by gradually adding more food colouring.
