Preheat oven to 345 F.
In large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients & mix until smooth. Line cupcake tray with liners. Fill liners ¾ full with batter.
Bake 12-16 minutes or until toothpick is inserted & comes out clean.
While the cupcakes are baking make the filling. Combine all filling ingredients in another large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.
After cupcakes have been removed from the oven, place them in fridge for 10 minutes or until completely cooled.
In electric mixer, combine butter & salt. Mix on medium speed until fluffy. Sift in powdered sugar one cup at a time & continue beating on medium speed.
Add vanilla, heavy whipping cream, & food coloring to frosting & mix on high until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
