A couple of weeks ago for Mother’s Day, I made my mom chocolates cupcakes with vanilla icing and wrote her a meaningful letter instead of giving her a meaningless material item. When choosing a recipe, I decided to go with the theme of unconditional love and used pink baking cups, pink pearl cupcake candies, and sparkly foam hearts. They were a huge success and I wanted to share them with you this mistake-proof recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 box of Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
- 1 can of Betty Crocker Whipped Vanilla Icing
- 24 baking cups
- 1 can of pink cupcake pearl candies
- 1 cup of water
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
