​Why is it that sprinkles make everything taste better?
Picture
Picture
​When my kids were little, I used to put sprinkles on absolutely everything that I could to get them to eat.  Fifteen years later - Courtney is STILL eating sprinkles on her food.
Picture
The truth is - I love sprinkles too.  I'm not totally sure but it's possible that I have a teenie bit of a sprinkle obsession.  Then again - doesn't everybody buy sprinkles in bulk? 
Picture
Picture
The fact that I have two tupperware bins that are overflowing with sprinkles might indicate a possible sprinkle addiction.  I think I have sprinkles for every holiday and LOTS of everyday sprinkles.  

I love sprinkles so much that I don't even mind cleaning them up off of the floor for WEEKS after I make these funfetti cupcakes.  (Seriously, I have no idea how they got ALL over my kitchen!)

​Add milk mixture and mix on low speed until just moistened. Increase to medium speed and mix for 1-1/2 minutes.

​Fold in the rainbow jimmies until just combined.
​Divide the batter into your prepared pans. This recipe makes 12 jumbo cupcakes or 24 regular sized cupcakes.

Bake until a toothpick comes clean when inserted into the center of the cupcake, about 16-18 minutes at 350.

​Remove the cupcakes from the baking pans immediately, to let cool. Let cool completely before frosting.

​Frost with vanilla buttercream and decorate with sprinkles.

Funfetti cupcakes - I'm not to proud to admit that I love them just as much as the kids.
