Some dessert trends come and go, but the cake batter craze seems to have withstood the test of time so far. We get it. There’s not much better than a hefty scoop of birthday cake ice cream. Or a delicious cupcake topped with a dollop of…more cake.
Aside from sprinkles, you won’t need anything fancy for this recipe, but you will have to get a little creative with the cake mix. Sometimes simple is just the best route, and cake batter is working its way to a classic flavor.

Not much says summer more than seashells and sand. In this case, the ‘sand’ is brown sugar and the ‘shells’ made of white and milk chocolate.
Vanilla cupcakes covered in light blue vanilla buttercream and topped with homemade white and milk chocolate sea shells. Seems like a much sweeter way to collect shells than any we’ve seen!

A dessert doesn’t have to be red, white and blue to be appropriate for a 4th of July celebration, but it certainly doesn’t hurt, especially when topped with berries and cream cheese frosting.
If you’re still wondering what to make for tomorrow’s festivities, these easy cupcakes will certainly do the trick. A basic vanilla recipe does the trick with a few drops of food coloring and some blueberries and / or strawberries. Festive and healthy? Yes, please!

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.

There’s a unicorn craze happening right now. Everything colorful, rainbow, sparkly, and exploding with happiness is labeled “unicorn”, and these cupcakes definitely fit the bill.
Basically just a colorful version of delicious vanilla, these treats are tinted with rainbow sprinkles and topped with the prettiest purple buttercream and a few extra sprinkles for good measure. Is it possible to eat these and be in a bad mood?

It may be more acceptable to love cupcakes than Pop Tarts as a grown up with a day job, but this recipe shakes up that idea and proves we can love and enjoy both…at the same time.
Top vanilla cupcakes with homemade strawberry buttercream and a Pop Tart piece to bring a whole new level of yummy to Friday breakfast.

Happy April Fool’s Day! We doubt anyone is throwing a party for this holiday, but that doesn’t mean cupcakes shouldn’t be involved. These sushi cupcakes are the perfect “prank” for April 1.
These mini cupcakes may look like delicious sushi rolls, and they may seem like a disgusting idea, but they’re all for show. And flavor…vanilla, that is.
