Everyone loves a delicious cupcake for their birthday, right? Duh! It’s even more special when those cupcakes are homemade. So today, I’m going to share a REALLY simple recipe for Birthday Cake Cupcakes, known in the world of box cake as “Funfetti”. Let’s get started!!
Birthday Cake Cupcakes
You’ll Need:
~ 2 cups all-purpose flour
~ 1 ½ cups sugar
~ 1 tablespoon baking powder
~ ½ cup milk
~ ¾ cup water
~ 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
~ ½ cup butter, softened
~ 3 eggs
~ 1/3 cup of rainbow sprinkles. I like to use rainbow sanding sugar or rainbow jimmies.
Directions:
- Pre-heat your over to 350 degree

Vanilla Frosting
- 2 Sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature

In an electric mixer cream together the butter and the cream cheese. Beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Slowly add in one cup of powdered sugar at a time. Mixing in between each addition

If your frosting is too thin – add more powder sugar. If your frosting is too thick, add in a tbs of milk.
