Step 1: Make the cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for a convection oven). Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. Mix 500 g of the mix, 250 g of butter, 250 g of eggs (5 eggs), and a handful of FunCakes Confetti Mix together. Mix on low speed for 4 minutes until a smooth batter forms. Line a muffin tin with paper liners. Fill each liner halfway with the batter using an ice cream scoop. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until done. Allow the cupcakes to cool on a cooling rack.

Step 2: Prepare the Buttercream

For the buttercream, mix 100 grams of the mix with 100 ml of water using a whisk and let it set for at least 1 hour. In the meantime, beat 250 grams of butter for about 1 minute until smooth. Gradually add the mixture to the butter in four parts, ensuring each portion is fully incorporated before adding the next. Continue mixing for 5-10 minutes until the buttercream is smooth.

Step 3: Decorate the cupcakes

Fill a piping bag fitted with a #1M tip with the buttercream. Pipe swirls onto the cupcakes. Once all cupcakes have a swirl, sprinkle them with FunCakes Confetti Mix. For an extra festive touch, place a candle on top.

Step 4: Enjoy the Cheerful Funfetti Cupcakes
