Ingredients
For the buttercream:
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Step 2
Line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
- Step 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.
- Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream soda and white cake mix for 2 minutes, until light and completely combined.
- Step 5
Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cupcake batter into the prepared liners.
- Step 6
Bake the cupcakes for 18-22 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Step 7
Cool the cupcakes completely as you prepare the buttercream.
- Step 8
Place the butter and icing sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat together for 2 minutes until completely combined.
- Step 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.
- Step 10
Scoop the frosting into a piping bag and twist the end to secure.
- Step 11
Snip 1” off the bottom of the piping bag and then swirl the buttercream onto each cupcake.
- Step 12
Use an offset spatula to smooth down the frosting.
- Step 13
Place the sprinkles in a shallow bowl and then dip each cupcake, frosting-side down into the bowl to decorate.
