Festive In A Hurry
Need something to make your celebration festive? Or just to make an ordinary day a festive one? We’ve got a simple solution. Cupcakes make everything seem like a celebration. To start your celebration off right, get some of the bright and cheerful cupcake cups you see here in the photo above. They are readily available from the 99 Cent Only store, the Dollar Tree, Home Goods, Marshalls or from Amazon.
These cups are sturdier than regular cupcake wrappers or papers. They are strong enough to hold up on their own and don’t require cupcake pans to use them. They can simply be placed directly on a baking sheet and filled with cake batter.
To make a bunch fast, easy and really fun, start with your favorite white or yellow cake mix and mix as directed. Place the cupcake cups on a baking sheet and fill 1/2 to 2/3 full. Bake as directed on the box for cupcakes. Be careful not to overtake and make them dry.
While they are baking make a batch of homemade buttercream icing. Really good icing will make your cake mix cupcakes taste truly homemade. When the cupcakes are baked and have had a chance to cool completely, pipe a big swirl of icing on top of each one. If you don’t have a piping bag, fill a large ziplock bag with icing and just clip the corner to make an opening for the icing to be piped out.
Once you have icing on each cupcake the fun really starts. Decorate with rainbow sprinkles, or chocolate sprinkles, with strawberries or raspberries, you could use some mini chocolate chips, or crushed up Oreos, or chopped candy bars, the options are only limited by your imagination.
The combo or lots of different toppings on the icing and the bright and colorful cup cake papers, elevate the simple vanilla cupcake to being party worthy and will make any occasion feel like a celebration. It’s the weekend, why not celebrate that?!!! Making any day a fun day and a reason to celebrate being alive can only bring love, joy and oh so much abundance to you and everyone you love 🙂
