Description

Ingredients

• 1 package of Funfetti Box Cake
• 3 Eggs
• 1 Cup of Water
• 1/3 cup of Vegtable oil
• 5-10 drops of blue food coloring

Directions

1. Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Follow all the instructions on the box of funfetti cake to prepare the batter
3. Once all the ingredients have been mixed and the batter is ready add about 5-10 drops of food coloring or more to your batter to get that Rainbow Dash light blue color (don’t use to much food coloring or you will over shadow the funfetti sprinkles in your cake and it will just turn out to be a plain ol’ blue cupcake ^_^)
4. Bake for about 16-18 minutes and let them cool before frosting them!



Basic Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
Makes Enough frosting for 24 Cupcakes

Ingredients
• 4 sticks of unsalted butter (make sure they are firm but not cold)
• 7 cups of confectioners sugar
• 1 tsp of milk
• 1tsp of pure vanilla extract (preferably Nielson-Massey vanilla)
• 2 pinches of salt
• Blue, Yellow, and Red Food coloring


Directions

1. In a bowl combine butter, sugar and salt. Beat till blended.
2. Add the milk and vanilla and beat for an additional 3-5 minutes. If theres one thing I have learned about frosting its from the cupcake queen herself, Candace Nelson the founder and owner of Sprinkles Cupcakes. She comments how when you make frosting it should be dense and creamy like ice cream and I couldn’t agree with her more!
3. Separate the frosting into 3 different bowls and color each bowl a different color to match Rainbow Dash's lightning bolt cutie mark!


Now in terms of decorating you may be wondering just how on earth I got three different colors of frosting to swirl so flawlessly onto the little cupcake! And I can confidently say its much easier than it looks but it certainly took a lot of trial and error before I finally got it right!! Heres a link to a tutorial that I found that gave me the inspiration for these cupcakes and how to go about decorating them!
