Notes

  • If you don't have buttermilk, use our guide on how to make buttermilk substitute.
  • STORE- keep cupcakes in airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Use your favorite frosting recipe. Vanilla buttercream is a classic choice. If you're in the mood for chocolate atop your funfetti treats with this Chocolate Buttercream Frosting . Or give my Chocolate Sour Cream Frosting a try instead for something a little out of the ordinary. You can also whip up a batch of chocolate cream cheese frosting for a tangy treat.
