Prep: 30 min | Yield: 24 servings, 1 cupcake each
Ingredients
- 1 (18.25 ounce) box white cake mix*

- Spread 2 tablespoons whipped topping onto top of each cupcake. Decorate with sprinkles as desired.
- Store cupcakes in refrigerator.
Notes
* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
Jazz It Up: Garnish with assorted holiday candies and/or decorating gels.
Fun Idea: Use Valentine's Day cupcake liners for a special look.
