Add in a little food coloring to the frosting and cake mix to create pastel shades if desired --- if you mix the cake batter by hand with a wooden spoon you will get a lesser amount of cupcakes, an electric mixer adds in more air while mixing you will get about 22-24 cupcakes --- for coconut cupcakes add in 1-2 teaspoons coconut extract (instead of the vanilla and almond extract) into the cake mix and frosting then sprinkle with soft flaked coconut on top of frosting.

  • For a richer frosting, you can add melted chocolate, peanut butter, or chopped nuts. Be creative and experiment with different flavors to find your favorite combination.
  • If you are making the frosting ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to let it come to room temperature before using.
