Half Dozen Funfetti Cupcakes

Half a Dozen Funfetti Cupcakes are such fun! They are soft, fluffy and full of sprinkles.  Plus, you are only making 6 (six!). Which, are great for smaller gatherings or a quick treat when your cupcake sweet tooth has gone into overdrive. 

My cupcake obsession continues.

I know→→→cupcakes. Why does she make so many cupcakes?! 

Ah! I can’t help it. I adore cupcakes.  I have so much adoration, that my family bought me lemon cupcakes for Mother’s Day instead of a cake or pie or cookies. 

Just 4 lemon cupcakes. 

Why only 4?  Because, with the exception of one of my children, I’m the only one who eats lemon cupcakes.  So, I only had to share cupcakes with just 1 kid!

That’s quite rare in my house and guys, it was a pretty darn good treat for Mother’s Day. 

Who needs flowers? 😉

Speaking of small-portion size cupcakes, today, we have funfetti cupcakes and this recipe only makes 6 of them!

Note:  Funfetti = Sprinkle Overload 

These cupcakes are yummy.  Plus, soft, fluffy and kinda fun. 

Your Supply List:

• 6 count muffin pan ( or just use 1/2 of your 12 count)
• Cupcake liners or non stick cooking spray
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Electric Mixer + mixing bowl
• Scoop ( for batter)
• Measuring cups/spoons

Ingredients for Your 1/2 Dozen Cupcakes:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Butter
• Baking powder
• Egg white
• Vanilla
• Milk
• Salt
• Sprinkles
• Powdered Sugar
• Food coloring (optional)

A few recipe notes:

• Food coloring for the frosting is totally optional! But, it does make them more fun. I use gel food coloring for mine. I think it makes the colors brighter than using the liquid stuff. 
• You don’t need to break out the big mixer for the cupcake batter. A  medium size mixing bowl and whisk work great. Be sure not to over-mix your batter! It will give you dense cupcakes. But, you will have to use your electric mixer for the frosting. 
• Don’t forget to softened butter for the frosting! It makes it nice and fluffy.
