Step-by-step instructions

   Mix butter and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs, mix again, and then add vanilla.

4. 4

   Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Also, if you haven't already, measure out the milk and the Red Bull (you can mix them into the same measuring cup, but it looks a little funky.).

   Alternate between adding the dry ingredients and wet ingredients to the batter. Add food color to your heart’s desire.

6. 6

   Fill your cupcake pan with batter.

7. 7

   Bake for 20 minutes, then let cool. Brush tops with more Red Bull, if desired.

   Cream butter, add half the red bull, then add powdered sugar 1/2-1 cup at a time, mixing as you go.

10. 10

    Add the rest of the Red Bull for flavor/consistency as desired.

11. 11

    Add icing coloring as desired to achieve a bright blue.
