Ladybirds Christmas Snowmen Summer Fruitcupcakes

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely. In the meantime, prepare the frosting by mixing powdered sugar with a little water until smooth. Divide the frosting into three bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create red, green, and yellow frostings. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost them with the colored frostings and decorate with assorted fruits to resemble ladybirds, Christmas snowmen, and summer themes. Serve and enjoy!
