Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
Line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
3
Place the 2 cups of cream soda for the buttercream in a saucepan and set over high heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium to simmer until the cream soda is reduced to approximately 1/2 cup. Pour into a mason jar and place in the fridge to cool.
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream soda and white cake mix for 2 minutes, until light and completely combined.
5
Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cupcake batter into the prepared liners.
6
Bake the cupcakes for 18-22 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
7
Cool the cupcakes completely as you prepare the buttercream.
8
Place the butter and icing sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together for 2 minutes until completely combined.
9
Add 2 Tablespoons of the reduced cream soda syrup, then taste and adjust with more cream soda syrup. This will make the frosting softer and more flavourful.
10
Scoop the frosting into a piping bag and twist the end to secure.
11
Snip 1” off the bottom of the piping bag and then swirl the buttercream onto each cupcake.
12
Use an offset spatula to smooth down the frosting.
13
Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl and then dip each cupcake, frosting-side down into the bowl to decorate.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Substitute Half the Liquid 💧Replace half the water called for in the cake mix with cream soda to intensify the flavor and create an even creamier, more moist crumb texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️Allow butter and eggs to reach room temperature before mixing to ensure proper emulsification and a smoother, more uniform batter that bakes evenly.
- Don't Overmix the Batter 🥄Mix only until the dry ingredients are just incorporated after adding the cream soda; overmixing develops gluten and creates tough, dense cupcakes instead of light, tender ones.
- Chill Cupcake Liners First 🧊Place your cupcake liners in the tin and refrigerate for 15 minutes before filling to prevent the batter from sticking and ensure clean, uniform cupcake edges.
- Cream Soda Buttercream Frosting 🎂Use the remaining cream soda to create a signature frosting by reducing it by half, then beating it into your powdered sugar and butter for a perfectly matching, restaurant-quality finish.
