Easter Cupcakes

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine.

Even as a baker who often compiles my recipes from scratch, I always keep a supply of Pillsbury cake mixes and frosting on hand. You never know when they might come in handy.

I know for most of you out there, you’re working women, you’re moms, and you’re short on time. But that doesn’t mean you can’t whip up something SUPER cute for the holidays!

When I was in Walmart last week, I saw that they had the Pillsbury Spring Funfetti® Cake Mix and the new Pillsbury Fluffy Frost, obviously I needed to make something fun with them because I’m all about the sprinkles and the chocolate! The proof of that is in my Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes!

So I decided to take my Pillsbury products to the next level and mix up a moment with these Easy Easter Cupcakes.

The Spring Funfetti® Cupcakes are topped with the Chocolate Fluffy Frost, then dipped in chocolate sprinkles or green candy shred and topped with orange candy dipped strawberries for the final touch.

Don’t they just scream springtime? Check out the video below to see just how easy these are!

These cupcakes are light, fluffy, and fun! Make them for your family get together this Easter or send them off to school with your kids for the holiday parties.

In fact, you should make them together, decorating cupcakes is just as much fun as decorating Easter eggs. Actually, they might even be better than that because you get to eat them after!
