Ingredients
French Vanilla boxed cake mix
Classic Vanilla icing
Purple, Green, Yellow sprinkles or sugar
What You'll Do
Mix the cake batter as instructed on the box. Line 24 cupcake molds with paper liner. (I spray the liner so it's easier to take out the cupcake, but it's totally up to you.) Fill the liners 2/3 of the way. Bake as instructed (about 20 minutes).
Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, cool to room temperature on cooling racks. Next, I put all the cupcakes on a platter, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least an hour. I've found it helps the cakes retain their moisture. (I have no idea why.)
Frost the cupcakes as usual. As soon as you frost, decorate with sprinkles or sugar as you like.
