Spring Velvet Cupcakes
I bought a box of Spring Velvet Cake Mix and decided to make this. Then I decided to make them for a combo birthday party for my sister, my daughter and I. The theme was a garden theme, and what better than Spring Velvet Cupcakes. They were a big hit, in fact there were some peeps asking if there were any left. I guess I should have made double the amount.
Easter?
These would be perfect for Easter with the colors and all.
If you’re afraid of sugar, these are not for you. The cream cheese filling and frosting has 9 cups of powdered sugar. The good news? I didn’t use all of it. You should have some left over for your next recipe. But it was Oh So Good!! One cupcake was definitely enough.
The box of Spring Velvet Cake Mix comes with two packages of cake mix. One yellow and one pink. Each box is enough for 12 cupcakes, giving you a total of 24. If you want to take the same route I did, you could make a batch of yellow and then a batch of pink. Or you could combine your batter, half and half, in each cupcake for a cute mix.
Filling the cupcakes
Oh, and by the way, filling cupcakes is so easy to do if you have a piping bag or decorating tips. You can put a tip inside a baggie that has the corner cut out and use it as your piping bag.
Are you going to fill the cupcakes or just frost them?
