Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. I do this before I start mixing the ingredients together so that when I am done mixing the ingredients, I can put it right in the oven. So follow the instructions on the back of the cake mix you are using. Combine all of the ingredients using a mixer. I do not have a stand mixer, so I used one of my large mixing bowls and a hand mixer.
I made 12 cupcakes. I used an ice-cream scoop to distribute my batter evenly.
Bake the cupcakes in the oven. I really don't know why, but I thought the cake mix only made 12 cupcakes. So I ended up with some more batter, which I poured into a 9 inch round.
Once the cupcakes are done baking let them cool for five minutes, then transfer the cupcakes from their pans to a cooling rack. Now we are ready to decorate!
I used Betty Crocker cupcake icing.
I arranged the cupcakes on a cake board, and placed a wine glass upside down in the middle of the cake board. I arranged the cupcakes around the wine glass, then placed my last one on the foot of the glass. I really like this style of arranging!
On top of the blue iced cupcakes, I added silver sprinkles, and on the pink, I used hot pint sprinkles.
And I'm done! Decorating cupcakes is so easy and fun. Enjoy!
Baking things like this are easy and fun! I love decorating things like this. Try it using different icing colors and see what you can create!
