You will love having these Easter cupcakes at your holiday party. They are great for decorating an Easter cake because they are easy to make and come in pretty pastel colors.

Ingredients: 1 box of vanilla cake mix. 3 large eggs. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pink, blue, and yellow food coloring. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 4 cups powdered sugar. 2-3 tbsp milk. Assorted Easter-themed decorations mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, edible flowers. Cupcake liners.

Instructions: Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin. Put the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vanilla cake mix in a large bowl. Mix until it's smooth. Put the batter into three bowls that are all the same size. Put a few drops of pink food coloring in one bowl, blue in another, and yellow in the last. Mix until you get the pastel colors you want. To make a layered look, put a spoonful of each color of batter into a different cupcake liner. Bake in an oven that has already been heated for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Get the frosting ready while the cupcakes cool down. Put the softened butter in a bowl and beat it until it's smooth. One cup of powdered sugar at a time should be added, along with a tablespoon of milk every so often, until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. To make the frosting look like the cake batter, divide it into three bowls and color each one with the same color. After the cupcakes have cooled, use a piping bag and your favorite decorating tip to cover each one with a different color of frosting. Add different Easter-themed decorations to the cupcakes, such as mini chocolate eggs, sprinkles, and edible flowers. Give your cute Easter cupcakes to people and enjoy them!

These cupcakes are not only delicious but also incredibly pretty with their colorful appearance. They're perfect for special occasions and celebrations.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1/4 cup milk. 1 egg. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1/4 tsp salt. Assorted food coloring optional. Decorative sprinkles optional.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. If you want to create colorful cupcakes, divide the batter into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Mix until you achieve your desired colors. Fill each cupcake liner with a spoonful of batter, layering different colors if you've used food coloring. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once the cupcakes are cool, you can decorate them with decorative sprinkles or frosting of your choice. Enjoy your pretty and delicious homemade cupcakes!
