For the frosting:

1 1/2 cup (339 g) unsalted butter, cold 6 cups (780g) powdered sugar 2 ½ (12 ml) tablespoons heavy whipping cream 2 teaspoons (10ml) vanilla extract Pinch of salt

Cut the butter into pieces. Using the paddle attachment, whip the butter for 5-7 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally, beating until the butter is very fluffy. Alternate adding 2 cups of powdered sugar at a time with the liquid ingredients: vanilla extract & heavy cream. Ensure the powdered sugar is well combined, and whip for 1-2 minutes before adding more powdered sugar. Once all the ingredients have been added, increase speed to medium-high and beat for another couple of minutes to whip additional air into the frosting. Pipe these cupcakes with a large piping tip and top with sprinkles.
