It Bakes Me Happy: Classic Funfetti Cupcakes

Anyone who denies the power of advertising (or television in general) has never met a two year old! Case in point – the other day my daughter was watching one of her favorite cartoons “Super Why” and they were baking a cake. She immediately exclaimed to me, “Momma I bake cake!” So I assured her that we could make a cake, well cupcakes to be exact and that was that. We gathered up our ingredients, she grabbed aprons for the both of us (this is super important to her, it makes me smile) and we went about making the batter.We decided funfetti was the variety of the day, she and my husband are big on sprinkles.

Lately I have been baking with Greek yogurt a lot, I love the added protein and the moistness it provides without all of the extra fat. This recipe is an adaptation of one by Aunt Natalie and they turned out great; moist, delicious and bursting with sprinkles. Enjoy and happy baking!

    Advertising is a powerful thing, especially with children! My daughter used to recite the commercials to me to explain what she wanted. These cupcakes look delicious, so I’m glad the advertising worked! 🙂
