Aren’t those cute?
I love the bright colors and sprinkles.
I’ve shared before that I am not good at decorating cakes or cupcakes. I just don’t make pretty food. So it made me really happy that I was able to make these cupcakes.
I used a star tip. Starting in the center, I just squirted (is the proper word piped?) around in a circle until the top of the cupcake was covered. Simple!
And using two contrasting colors of frosting made for a more festive presentation. I even sprinkled the cupcakes with sprinkles from both types of frosting.
You can get 12 regular sized cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes from 1 box of Funfetti cake mix. It’s fun to have two different sizes for people with a big or small sweet tooth.
We don’t have any birthdays coming up, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a reason to celebrate. We shared these cupcakes to celebrate Jim coming home from a three week business trip. We were all so glad to have him home!

Love Funfetti! Our family’s next celebration is huge! Our daughter will be celebrating her 3rd birthday and two days before we will be welcoming her little sister into the world! Talk about a lot of celebrating in a few days!
Our next celebration will be my son’s birthday! And I LOVE to use the Funfetti mix for these types of celebrations!!!
Our next celebration will be a combo birthday/Mother’s Day celebration for me! And I LOVE Funfetti cupcakes!! I have yet to frost a pretty cupcake. I will have to give this method a try.
Hi Tiffany! My family’s next celebration will be Mother’s Day. Even though I have to do all the prepping and cooking, we really do it to honor our mom who passed away almost 4 years ago. She was the best! And who doesn’t loooove cupcakes? This would make the dessert easy for me!
Our next official celebration will be Mother’s Day. Unofficial celebration- Friday.
Our next celebration is my son’s 5th birthday on the 26th!
Next up is our niece’s birthday, after that we have celebrations just about every weekend for a while!

My daughter’s 3rd birthday is in May! Thanks for the frosting tip–planning to make my own cupcakes for her party with purple frosting!
our next family celebration will be the baptism of a new nephew that was born this week…but you don’t need a celebration for cake!!!

our next celebration will be mothers day… when they find out we are having a baby!
Mother’s Day for our family is the next “celebration”.
Today is a celebration of the birth of my little girl…23 years ago! It hardly seems possible it’s been that long…
We missed our April birthday parties because one or more of the children were ill. We hope to make up for that soon celebrating their health as well as their age.
I am so excited my daughter Jaden is turning 10 next Friday Wow! How time flies. Since we are on a tight budget this year we are doing a pool party with her four friends. Got love California weather. This would be a great package to help us celebrate.
Our next incoming celebration would be DD’s birthday, this is a great idea to bake cupcakes for her.
Mother’s Day, May 12th; then our 21st wedding anniversary on May 16th.
Mother’s Day!!! Oh wait, before mother’s day, myself and 3 girlfriends are having a Girls Weekend…going away for some much needed “girl time”! Thanks for the giveaway!
We will be celebrating our dog’s 10th birthday:). We go all out with a huge birthday party for her!
The SUN is shining!
My husband & I just celebrated our wedding anniversary yesterday. Our next celebration will be my daughter’s 6th birthday. Not until September, though. Maybe we’ll have to make up a celebration between now and then…
Over the past 20 years, April has been notorious for terrorism, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. However, as I told my 10 yo last night, as we watched the coverage of the fertilizer plant explosion (We felt the shockwave 45 miles away knocking a bowl of cereal off our coffee table. Initially, we’d thought we’d been hit by a microburst or an earthquake), in my mind, she was the best thing that ever came out of April. We’re celebrating her birthday by taking her Girl Scout troop camping.
We will be celebrating my daughters 6th birthday!!!
Our next family celebration will be my little brother’s birthday!
we celebrate 1/2 birthdays just to make things interesting…YEA, its not about the presents or the things that make it FUN, its the spotlight of the person….
Our next celebration will be my first mother’s day as a mom!
Next big celebration will be DS #2’s 2nd birthday!!!
Our next celebration will be for my Mom’s birthday !! My kids love to help me bake. This would be great.
My next celebration will be my son’s birthday. These cupcakes look great!
Our next celebration will be Mother’s Day, closely followed by my hubby’s birthday!
I think we will celebrate for Memorial Day weekend. Our first big celebration in our new home & the formal introduction bringing both our families together for the first time, from Mom, siblings to grandchildren. What a joyous celebration! Memorial Day means so much to us as military service has been a tradition in both families and my son served in the infantry in Iraq, so we have many heroes to remember and one that we are so grateful to have back.
Well! What a cool giveaway!! I had my birthday last week, but we are having the celebration (at home) next Monday. How cool is that?
🙂
The next family celebration is my husbands birthday! He will be turning 47. He has made the last 29 years we have been together a celebration every day. May is loaded with celebrations in our family, birthdays, anniversaries and graduations. Phew, it’s going to be a busy month as usual.

Our next celebration will be a combination of my birthday and mother’s day!

Mother’s Day will be our next celebration. I can’t say Funfetti cupcakes will be part of that day (I usually try to do something a bit elaborate and elegant to celebrate us women)… but who doesn’t love Funfetti??
We will be celebrating the gender of my next niece or nephew. My sister lives in Colorado Springs and will being coming home for a visit after over a year to our family. She is also sending me the gender so that I can make a cake or cupcakes to surprise the rest of my family with the gender of the baby!! We have 5 boys between me and my three older sisters now so we are hoping I get to make some PINK centers instead of blue!! 🙂 Either way I cant wait and this would totally help me out with my project!!!! 🙂

The END of WINTER in MINNESOTA!!!!
Our next celebration will be Mother’s Day. Your cupcakes are beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway.
Our next celebration will be my daughter’s 11th birthday which is May 9.
This is easy. Our youngest is turning 9 years old. This would be great both for the birthday dessert and to help with the birthday presents.
April/May is actually the slowest part of the year for me for celebrations. It’s a nice break, too, considering we have soooo many birthdays between June and February-ish. Yes….it’s nonstop, and mixed in with the major holidays.
So my next won’t actually be until June for the next kid’s birthday party!
Our son will be turning twenty on Sunday!
Our next official celebration is my husbands 52nd birthday, along with Mother’s Day. But right before that, we are having Teacher Appreciation Day. I have been thinking about cupcakes, but, like you, I have not had success with making them pretty. Perhaps your tip will work for me. Thanks for all the great ideas, and recipes.
Our family’s next celebration will be May 17th. My sister is scheduled to have her baby girl that day, and I can not wait!!! I absolutely love being an aunt!! It’s the next best thing to having my own children. Our next birthday celebration will in August. My son will be 12, and it kills me that my baby boy is growing up so fast!! Lol

Our Aniversary….8 years and counting!
My mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Needles to say that this will be a very emotional Mother’s Day. There is also the end of the school year, as a teacher, that’s always a reason to celebrate!
We will be celebrating our sons birthdays…they were born on the same day, two years apart!
My family’s next big celebration is Mother’s Day. I always request that my husband and kids make me a cake together. They can make any flavor they want because my favorite part is seeing the finish product (cake). They are creative and there is ALWAYS a funny story about how the cake got made to go with my slice and glass of milk.
I’m more about the moments in life and not material things. 22 days and counting until I cut my cake!
My family’s next celebration will be next weekend. 22 years ago my husband got his birthday present a day late. On his birthday we had a false alarm then Our daughter was born the day after his birthday. 🙂
