To make the icing, beat the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer until smooth. Add the icing sugar and extract and beat until the icing is light and fluffy. Divide the icing in half and beat a little pink food colouring through one half.

Scoop pink and white icing into separate rectangles of cling wrap and wrap into a sausage shape, leaving one end open. Place open ends down into a piping bag, to create the two-tone effect. Pipe icing on top of the cooled cupcakes and top with a fondant butterfly.
