Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Add half of the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add the milk. Once mixed, add remaining dry ingredients. Fold in assorted sprinkles.

Pour into cupcake tins and fill 2/3 of the way full. Bake @ 350* for 18-20 minutes.
Let cool.

Vanilla Buttercream Icing:
2 sticks of butter, softened
2 1/2 C. powdered sugar
1 T. vanilla extract
1 T. milk, as needed

Cream butter in the bowl of an electric mixture until completely smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add in powdered sugar slowly. Gradually increase mixer speed and add vanilla, then beat for 2-3 minutes.
If icing is too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Ice cupcakes and top with sprinkles.
