Line the muffin tin with 24 cupcake liners. Preheat oven according to package instructions.

In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, powdered sugar milk and vanilla. Using a stand or electric mixer, beat until smooth and fluffy.
Place ⅓ of the frosting in a bowl, set aside.
To the remaining buttercream frostring, add 2 to 3 drops of green food coloring and continue to beat until evenly tinted. Transfer the green frosting into a piping bag.
Start by covering the top of the cupcake with white buttercream. Then using the green frosting, carefully dot around the circumference of each cupcake to making one or two rows.
