- Yield: About 2 dozen
- Category: Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix (and ingredients it calls for on the box)
- milk
- sprinkles
Frosting
- 1 1/2 cups butter (3 sticks)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons vanilla extract
- gel food coloring in whatever colors desired
Instructions
- Follow instructions on the box to bake cupcakes. I do like to substitute milk for the water, but that is optional. (straight across transfer)
- After cupcakes have cooled a bit, remove the core in the middle of the cupcake almost all the way down to the bottom. I use a cupcake corer, but you can just cut them out as well.
- Stuff the cupcakes with sprinkles, or any other small candy you want to use.
Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat the butter for 5 minutes until light colored and fluffily. Add the heavy cream and vanilla then beat for another 3 minutes. Slowly add the powdered sugar, scraping down the sides as you go, and beat for another 5-6 minutes until fluffy.
- Prepare your piping bag by using a new paintbrush to paint strips of gel food coloring on the inside. Start in the center by the tip with each strip, then fan it outward to the edge of the piping bag. (Like rays of sunshine.) I used four strips of four different colors.
- Place your frosting in your piping bag by dropping in large dollops until full. Then pipe it your cupcakes directly over the hole and top with a fringe topper and more sprinkles if desired.
