Notes: This is not a very thick frosting, but it should not be running off your spatula. So adjust the amount of powdered sugar to your desired consistency. If you need to make the frosting in advance, go ahead and refrigerate, but then allow the frosting to come to room temp. before frosting the cupcakes.
