Easter Surprise Cupcakes
Spring is coming! It really is. I'm so looking forward to seeing tulips bloom and green grass peek out from under the snow. Last year, I made these Easter Surprise Cupcakes and my girls went nuts for them. I am thinking they will be on the menu this Easter as well.
Have you tried the Duncan Hines Pink Velvet cake mix yet? I used it for the first time with this recipe and it did not disappoint. In true Joyful Momma fashion, I made alterations to the box ingredient list and I took these to bakery level. Adding milk and butter will do that!
These cupcakes are topped with pillow soft Whipped Marshmallow Frosting. I used this frosting for my Oreo Cupcakes and oh man.....I want to put it on all cupcakes.
