Line the baking molds with cupcake parchments and fill each about halfway with batter.

Whip the butter on medium to high speed until pale and fluffy; add the powdered sugar and mix about a minute until completely incorporated. Thin with a little milk if wanted.
Cool the cupcakes on the counter 10 to 15 minutes, then refrigerate about half an hour before icing.
