Pink Cotton Candy Cupcake

Im not the biggest fan of all things covered in pink, But once I get on a colour theme idea, It has to be that way. Pink was it, Cotton Candy was the best flavour to do it with. The fluffy sweet stuff we all remember from our childhood at fairs/carnivals, Or still if you are like me and and still decide to enjoy the small stuff. I didn't want to  use a candy flavouring but insted incorporated cotton candy( fairy floss) into the frosting/cupcake itself.

Frosting:

Cream your butter until smooth and then add in your sugar and vanilla and cotton candy/cream mixture. Beat until fluffy and add more powdered sugar if you feel it is too soft
Once the cupcakes are cooled off, you can frost them, I decorated the tops with little tufts of cotton candy just as a added touch.
