Christmas Funfetti Cupcakes!!!

The holidays are here, and with the holidays comes holiday inspired cupcakes. In the past we've brought you Peppermint Mocha Cupcakes and Apple Pie Cupcakes, but this year I thought it would be fun to do something well ... FUN. And so Christmas Funfetti Cupcakes were created. 



As you can see the cupcake is a simple yellow cupcake filled with red and green sprinkles topped with a red and green swirled buttercream frosting. 

We all know that funfetti cupcakes are about the sprinkles, but there needs to be a delicious cake base. We chose a basic yellow cake, keeping it simple and allowing all the colorful sprinkles to come through. 


Since the batter was just that, a basic yellow cake, the cupcakes baked up easily with the hint of color peeking through in each and every cupcake. 

But a cupcake isn't complete without frosting, and nothing compliments yellow cake quite as nicely as buttercream frosting. But it's Christmas, and these cupcakes are fun and festive, so a swirl frosting was essential. Making the cupcakes more then a delicious treat for holiday guest, but also a part of the festive decor.
