Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper or foil liners.
Make the Cupcakes: In a large bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In a stand mixer, fitted with flat beater, beat the sugar and butter until well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Add egg and egg white, one at a time, beating on low. Add vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk in 2 additions, ending with flour mixture. Fold in rainbow sprinkles.
Fill cupcake liners about 1/2 to 2/3 full and bake for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack before frosting.
Make the Buttercream: In a stand mixer, fitted with flat beater, beat butter until creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add 5 cups of sifted powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, beat until combined. Add more powdered sugar until you get to the consistency you want.
