Disney’s FROZEN fans will love FROZEN Funfetti Cupcakes. These vanilla funfetti cupcakes are topped with vanilla buttercream frosting and snow themed sprinkles.
Disney’s FROZEN is still one of the most popular movie choices in our house. It’s been perfect for watching on cold and snowy days. Of course while watching the movie, we always eat snacks or drink hot cocoa. My daughter recently requested that we make an Elsa dessert. We ended up deciding to make FROZEN Funfetti Cupcakes. If you don’t know what funfetti cupcakes are, they are vanilla cupcakes with sprinkles mixed throughout the batter.
I already had all the baking ingredients to make the cupcakes, but I had to go to Walmart for the decorating supplies. I found FROZEN cupcake liners in the party supply aisle, blizzard mix sprinkles in the baking aisle and snowflake sprinkles in the seasonal aisle. After we got our supplies, we went home and baked the cupcakes. Then I made vanilla buttercream frosting to pipe on top of the funfetti cupcakes. My daughter decorated each cupcake with snowflakes, snowmen, light blue gourmet sugar and white round sprinkles. She loved making and eating her “Elsa cupcakes”. These FROZEN Funfetti Cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting will be loved by any Disney’s FROZEN fan.
