Delicious and festive Funfetti cupcakes perfect for celebrating the 4th of July.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Butter Cake Mix Box
- ½ cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 Eggs
- 6 cup Powdered Sugar
- ⅔ cup Butter, softened
- 2 ½ teaspoon Vanilla
- 3 tablespoons Milk
- ¼ cup Patriotic Candy Sprinkles
- 3–5 cups Red, White and Blue Candy
- 12 Plastic Wine Glasses
- 12 American Flag Toothpicks
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, eggs, and water until cake batter is creamy.
- Gently fold patriotic candy sprinkles into the cake batter. If you mix them in too much, the colors will blend.
- Add batter to cupcake liners and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Once done, let cool.
- Make the homemade frosting by mixing powdered sugar, butter, vanilla, and milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Add extra milk to get desired thickness.
- If desired, add red or blue food coloring. Frost the cupcakes.
- Top cupcakes with additional candy sprinkles, small American Flags, and other patriotic decorations of your choice.
- For an extra fun 4th of July party display, fill a plastic wine glass 3/4 full of patriotic candy and place cupcakes on top of the candy.
Notes
- Be careful not to overmix the sprinkles into the batter to maintain the colors.
- Adjust the thickness of the frosting by adding more milk as needed.
