White cake is a birthday party staple (okay and chocolate too!) and while a box mix is pretty good (no shame!) these white cupcakes are SO GOOD!
They are light, fluffy, & extra white since you only use egg whites and clear vanilla extract. They are incredibly moist and have great flavor.

The new year is just around the corner, and while many of us may be excited to celebrate and welcome a new beginning, it’s unlikely anyone is looking forward to cleaning up the post-party mess. Enter confetti cupcakes.
