What goes into the recipe
don't forget to scroll to the recipe card for amounts and full method
- self raising flour- this is flour with baking powder already in it. The ratio is 1 cup flour to 2 tsps baking paking powder. If you don't have any you can simple making your own.
- melted butter- makes it quicker and easier to mix these. If you don't use melted butter you can use coconut oil.
- 100's and 1000's- these are the best sprinkles to use in these funfetti cupcakes because they are small and don't detract from the texture and flavour. If you are after something with only natural flavourings, there are loadsd available at Hopper Foods.

Expert Tips and FAQs
Yes! I freeze them after baking on a tray and when solid transfer to a container.
I use 100's and 1000's. You can also use the ones called "brights
or the chocolate equivalent. Larger types of sprinkles make the texture really unpleasant (I tried!). If you are looking for something natural, there are loads to try at Hopper Foods.
Our best ever Vanilla Cupcakes are a great bake sale option, or these really yummy marble cakes. Another option is making cookies like these ones!
