Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes, then move cupcakes to continue cooling on a wire rack.

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the icing: cream together the softened butter & cream cheese until well blended, then add in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth. Put in icing bag to pipe or smooth over cupcakes with an offset spatula.
