Ingredients
For cupcakes:
- 1 box cake mix (I used yellow)
- 1 1/2 cup club soda, any flavor will do (I used peach cream)
For decorating:
- 2 cups chocolate frosting
- 2 cups mashmallow frosting
- 2 cups strawberry frosting
- 1 cup lemon cream frosting
- Green decorating frosting
- Spinkles and pearl sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Line a muffin tin and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat together cake mix and club soda.
- Divide the batter evenly between each cupcake holder and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the cake tester comes clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
Decorating Princess Cupcakes:
- Prepare piping bags and fill each with frosting. I used chocolate, strawberry and marshmallow for the base, then green frosting and lemon cream frosting for decorating.
- For the theme of each princess, I used the coordinating colors and Disney Princess cake toppers.
- For Ariel: I piped the strawberry frosting over the entire cupcake using a petal tip. Then, with a closed star tip, I iced green seashells, topping each shell with a pearl sprinkle.
- For Tiana: I piped the chocolate frosting over the entire cupcake again using the petal tip. I used the round tip to ice green frosting in the center to create a bed of pearls.
- For Belle & Aurora: I piped strawberry frosting over the cupcakes with a petal tip. With a star tip, I iced the lemon cream frosting all around to create flowers. Garnish with pearl sprinkles.
- For Cinderella: I iced each cupcake with the marshmallow cream frosting, then sprinkled with blue sprinkles and pearls.
- Top each cupcake with the princess cake toppers, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
