• Preheat the oven to 350 F and line muffin pan with cupcake liners.
• In a bowl, sift the dry ingredients of flour and baking powder and keep aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together using a stand mixer (you can also use an electric beater for this), until properly mixed and creamy.
• Add in the eggs one by one while mixing. Add in the yogurt and vanilla extract and beat until it's completely incorporated.
• Now add in the flour mixture in batches and mix gently.
• Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the batter and fill your liners till 3/4 full.
• Bake for 20-25 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Let it cool down completely.

FOR THE FROSTING:

• Cream the butter until it's smooth and creamy, add in the vanilla extract and sugar (in batches) and beat until it has a smooth consistency. Add in the gel food color and mix really well with a spatula, scraping down the sides of the bowl so that the color is mixed properly.
• Fill the frosting in a piping bag (I am using an open star tip nozzle here) and frost your cupcakes. Make a tall frosting so that it resembles a tree!
• Top it up with some decorative sugar sprinkles!
