Vanilla Cupcakes With Milky Way Frosting

So I had a ton, well not a ton, but about a cup of Milky Way frosting left over from my Milky Way cake. Since I only make Milky Way cake once a year on my birthday, I had to think of another way to use up the frosting. Something other than eating it straight out of the container one spoon at a time. What else do you put frosting on? Cupcakes of course! I've never made cupcakes from scratch before, but how hard could it be? I did a quick search on Google and came across this Basic Vanilla Cupcakes recipe. It's meant for kids which means you really can't screw it up. The cupcake recipe should be made as listed, however, the frosting recipe is meant for the Milky Way  Cake. For cupcakes, I would cut the recipe down in half or even use a quarter of the ingredient amounts listed.

Vanilla Cupcakes
1 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of butter
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 milk

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners into the cupcake tin.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter by hand with a big spoon. With an electric mixer, beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla.
3. Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture. Mix well. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth. Pour or spoon batter into the prepared pan.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
