The sprinkles I chose to decorate my cupcakes with are the 'Frosted Berry' mix. They are SO .
They're light purple strands with dark pink pearls, light pink pearls, white stars, hundreds & thousands.

Ingredients for the cake
-240ml of almond milk
-1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
-210g of self-raising flour
-100g of golden caster sugar
-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
-60g of coconut oil (Melted)
Ingredients for the buttercream
-120g of vegan butter (I use Tomor)
-350g of icing sugar
-1 & 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste (You can use extract)
-1/2 teaspoon of pink food colouring
-1 teaspoon of dairy-free milk (if needed)
...
To make the cupcakes
Step 1- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees c and line a cupcake tin with cupcake cases.
Step 2- In a small bowl, combine the almond milk with the apple cider vinegar and whisk until fully combined.
Set aside for 10 minutes to curdle. This creates a vegan 'buttermilk'.
Step 3- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
Mix well to combine.
Step 4- Add the melted coconut oil to the 'buttermilk' and whisk to combine.
Step 5- Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a smooth batter.
Step 6- Fill the cases 3/4 full with the delicious batter.
Make sure to tap the tins on the worktop to remove any air bubbles.
You will know they are done when you put a knife or skewer in and it comes out clean and they are springy to the touch.
Step 8- Place the cupcakes on a cooling rack and allow to cool fully.
Once cool, pop them into a sealed container to keep them fresh before frosting.
To make the frosting
Step 1- Cream the butter in a bowl, on a low speed until creamy. I use my stand mixer with the balloon whisk attachment.
Step 2- When your butter/margarine is creamy & light in colour, add in the icing sugar, vanilla bean paste and pink food colouring.
Whizz together until fluffy & fully combined.
Add a splash of milk if the buttercream is too thick.
Step 3- transfer the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
I use a Wilton 2D tip.
Step 4- Pipe a swirl of buttercream onto each cupcake and top off with some vegan sprinkles. 
Serve fresh or store in a sealed container in or out of the fridge, the buttercream will firm up at room temperature.
Best eaten within a few days.
