Can we get happy all up in here today? Seriously. I know it’s Monday, but there are great things happening in the world! I’m celebrating the fact that 3 of my friends all gave birth to healthy, sweet little babes all within 3 weeks of each other. (Two of my friends gave birth at home without drugs <insert stunned/shock & awe emoji here!>) A healthy babe is the greatest thing you could ever ask for in life, and I am just filled with so much joy these day because of it! I’m not going to lie–I have seen friends go through tragic things with their kids this past year. Those kinds of things don’t really hit you the same way they did before you have kids, ya know? So, I’ve realized lately how special, wonderful, and magical it is to have healthy babes! And nothing says gratitude like sprinkles?
I created this funfetti cupcake recipe that makes 6 cupcakes so that we can work a little more sprinkles into our everyday lives. A small batch of cupcakes makes everyone happy, doesn’t it?
This is the first funfetti recipe on this site. Shocker, I know. It’s just that, I always thought funfetti had to made with the cake mix and canned frosting, and those two things are not allowed in my house. But, tons of butter and sugar that I make at home? No problem! Update: I actually made a mini funfetti cake in a 6 inch cake pan recently, and I love it! For date nights, I created these funfetti cakes from scratch in ramekins. I love making small cakes for two in ramekins to enjoy as a romantic dessert. I should mention these are actually funfetti ANGEL FOOD cupcakes. I wanted light and fluffy cupcakes punctuated with sprinkles, so I made a small batch of angel food cake batter. I was hoping this recipe would make a dent in my sprinkles collection, but it hasn’t. That just means I have to triple it and make more, right? Who’s coming over to help me get happy and eat pretty cupcakes?
This recipe makes just 6 cupcakes, but can doubled to make a full dozen. Follow the recipe exactly to double–use 6 egg whites. These are fluffy cupcakes similar to angel food cake!
