Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup crushed confetti or sugar cookies
  • Frosting: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened; 2 cups powdered sugar; 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; pinch of salt
  • Drip Glaze: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts; 2 tablespoons heavy cream; food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, beating well.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in rainbow sprinkles.
  5. Fill liners 2/3 full and bake for 18–20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  6. For frosting, beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream, beating until fluffy.
  7. Pipe or spread frosting on cooled cupcakes. Top with crushed cookies.
  8. To make the drip glaze, melt white chocolate with heavy cream until smooth. Add food coloring if desired. Cool slightly, then spoon over the frosting edges to create drips.

Notes

  • Customize sprinkle colors and glaze to match any event theme.
  • Try lemon or almond flavor variations in the cupcake base.
  • Use cake mix for a quicker version—just add sprinkles.
  • Use a spoon or piping bag for neat glaze control.
  • Freeze cupcakes without the drip for advance prep.
