I love a good party and I love a good cupcake. Like, seriously. Really…who doesn’t? Right?
Just in time {or barely in time!} for Mother’s Day and Teacher Appreciation Week, I present to you Party Cupcakes, very similar to the Party Oreos that have been super popular!
These are fast and easy and perfect for any occasion. Directions are after the jump!
Start by making any chocolate box cake mix according to directions. When you fill the cupcake liners, fill them at least 3/4 full. This is key so that the cupcakes rise enough for the next step.
To top the cupcakes, you’ll need Baker’s chocolate squares (3 square per dozen) and sprinkles of your choice.
Melt the chocolate squares according to the package directions and pour a healthy amount of sprinkles into another bowl. Carefully dip the top of the cupcake into the melted chocolate and immediately dip it into the sprinkles. Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving or packaging.
These sweet party cupcakes would be a perfect match to the Mother’s Day cupcake toppers…
…or a sweet gift for an important teacher in your life. 🙂

These look so good!
Darling cupcakes! I love sprinkles. Great article on the neon trend at I Heart Naptime. I’m not sure I could pull off the bold colors in my wardrobe, but maybe with some decor.
Thanks for the sweet words Camille! I’m just now tip-toeing into the neon trend, so we’ll see how long it actually takes for it to make it into my wardrobe! Home decor might be my avenue of choice to start off with too… 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Love the look of the sprinkles! Yummy!
Thank you Melissa! So glad that you stopped by!
Please tell me why I have never thought to do this, it is so cute and easy! Love it!
Hope you have a great weekend!

yum I love the idea of chocolate instead of frosting.
These are so cute! And I love that you dip them in the sprinkles rather than trying to sprinkle them all on and having more fall off than actually stick on…because that’s what usually happens to me. 😉 I would love for you to link it up to my What I Learned Wednesday Link Party going on right now! I know my readers would love it too. http://weliketolearnaswego.blogspot.com/2012/05/amazing-picture-hanging-tip.html
Thanks so much for the kind words Alexis! I’m all about trying to figure out ways to simplify things…and how to get more sprinkles on!
