Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• ⅓ cup colorful tutti frutti candied fruit pieces, optional

For Decorating

• CakeSupplyShop Tutti Frutti Buttercream Frosting
• Colorful sprinkles
• Tutti frutti candied fruit pieces
• Cupcake liners
• Piping bag and decorating tip

Step 1: Prepare the Cupcake Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place cupcake liners into a standard 12-cup muffin or cupcake pan. Colorful liners work especially well with the fun tutti frutti theme.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Set the dry ingredients aside while you prepare the butter mixture.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Make the Cupcake Batter

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.

Mix until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can affect the light and fluffy texture of your cupcakes.

For an extra burst of color and fruity flavor, gently fold in the tutti frutti candied fruit pieces.

Baking Tip: Lightly coat the fruit pieces with a little flour before adding them to the batter. This can help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cupcakes while baking.

Step 5: Fill the Cupcake Liners

Divide the batter evenly among your prepared cupcake liners.

Fill each liner approximately two-thirds full to give the cupcakes enough room to rise without overflowing.

Step 6: Bake

Bake the cupcakes for approximately 18–22 minutes, or until they are lightly golden.

Insert a toothpick into the center of one cupcake. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached, they’re ready.

Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan briefly before transferring them to a wire rack.

Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before decorating. Frosting warm cupcakes can cause the buttercream to soften or melt.

Step 7: Decorate with CakeSupplyShop Tutti Frutti Buttercream Frosting

Now for the fun part!

Fill a piping bag fitted with your favorite decorating tip with CakeSupplyShop Tutti Frutti Buttercream Frosting.

Pipe generous swirls of frosting onto each cooled cupcake. For a classic bakery-style finish, start around the outside edge of the cupcake and gradually work your way toward the center.

Using CakeSupplyShop buttercream makes decorating especially convenient because you can skip the time and mess involved in preparing homemade frosting.

Step 8: Add a Colorful Finish

Turn your cupcakes into true Tutti Frutti treats by adding colorful toppings.

Sprinkle rainbow sprinkles over the freshly piped buttercream and finish with a few small pieces of colorful candied fruit.

You can keep the decorations simple or go all out with bright colors for birthdays and special occasions.

Tips for Beautiful Tutti Frutti Cupcakes

Cool before frosting: Never frost cupcakes while they’re still warm.

Don’t overfill your liners: Filling them about two-thirds full helps produce nicely shaped cupcakes.

Use a large piping tip: A large open-star tip creates beautiful bakery-style buttercream swirls.

Decorate immediately after piping: Add sprinkles and fruit pieces while the buttercream is fresh so they stick properly.

Keep it colorful: Bright cupcake liners, rainbow sprinkles, and colorful fruit pieces complement the Tutti Frutti theme beautifully.
