Like me, she prefers white cake over chocolate. I decided to add some sprinkles to the batter to give the cupcakes a bit of fun color. Ummm…maybe a tablespoon? I didn’t measure.

Don’t add the sprinkles until the batter is completely mixed. Work quickly to stir them in with as little mixing as possible. The color will begin to melt immediately.

Cool completely before frosting.

I have a drawer full of sugary sprinkles and cookie decorations. But these tiny little balls have always been my favorite.

And inside, little bits of color.

She transported them in the cupcake tin. Easiest way to do it. White cake, lots of frosting. The only way to go.

She wants ice cream cone cupcakes for the sleepover with her friends this evening. I made cake batter using the directions on a white cake box mix, divided the batter into three parts, and colored the batter green, pink, and blue. We filled the cones about 2/3 full. Setting the cones in a mini muffin tin helped hold them upright.

After baking, the cones were top heavy and some of them fell over as I pulled them from the oven. The frosting will cover any flaws. If I make these again, I will try wedging the cones into the muffin tins with aluminum foil.

I used buttercream frosting to ice the cupcakes.

I think she’ll like them.
