Day 321 – Easy Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes

Some days you just need a cute, happy cupcake.  Especially if the recipe comes from one of my favorite blogs!  Easy Homemade Funfetti Cupcakes (recipe below from Sally’s Baking Addiction).  Nothing else to say.

    

The cupcakes are dense, moist and chewy. They have a sweet flavor. Almost vanilla. They do taste a little like a big sprinkle. Ya know, that sugary, almost vanilla flavor.

The frosting is smooth and creamy. A typical vanilla buttercream. A very sweet, typical vanilla buttercream. Almost like eating ice cream.

    

The cupcake is smooth and creamy. It’s very sweet overall. Now it’s almost like a sprinkle donut, when you put it all together.
