Divide the batter evenly between muffin tin. You need to bake it for about 18 to 22 minutes. Alternatively, you can watch out for a toothpick to come out clean, which will signal you that it is baked. Take it out of the oven and let it cool.

Pipe the buttercream in a swirl onto the cupcakes by using a large round tip. Draw a black line around the surface of the frosting. Attach the M&Ms vertically into the side of the cupcakes.

To cook these light cupcakes, Bree personally uses store-bought cake mix and buttercream as well as frosting. However, if you are in some advanced cooking spirit, the buttercream frosting can also be prepared from the scratch at your home.
