Who doesn't love cupcakes, especially white wedding cake style cupcakes. Wedding cake has to be one of my most favorite flavors. Yes, I consider 'wedding cake' a flavor. That could have something to do with the fact that I grew up on 'wedding cake' flavored snow cones during the summer, or just that wedding cake is known for being rich and decadent.
You know... sort of like Christian Grey.
While you're there, grab all the things you need to make your Skinny White Wedding Cupcakes! To make these cupcakes, I basically added to a boxed mix to make it taste completely homemade. It's a trick I learned many-a-year ago from my mom who used to work in a bakery. However, I made sure that my additions/substitutions were also lightening these cakes up and lowering the sugar.
Hey, we've got to keep our Anna like figures for Mr. Grey, right?!
The frosting is completely homemade, and let me just tell you that it is finger licking good, Mr. Grey. Even with being better-for-you. That's right! I swapped out half of the powdered sugar for a powdered sugar substitute and it's still perfectly sweet.
These cupcakes turned out beautifully. The cake is one of my all time favorites. ...And that's saying a lot. I've eaten my fair share of cake in my time. And the frosting? Well, let's just say my mom was over when I was making it and she was all but licking the bowl.
I got exactly 12 cupcakes out of the batch, making it perfect for a girls night watch party. The recipe is very easily doubled though, to give you a full 24 cupcakes if you've got a lot of girlfriends to share with!
