(Finally a recipe)
Green Velvet Cupcakes & Cake Balls
Ingredients:
1 Box yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 Cup water
1/2 Cup vegetable oil
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 Cup plain sour cream
Green paste food coloring
Frosting
8 oz softened cream cheese
1 stick softened butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1- teaspoon vanilla extract
Candy sprinkles
For Cake Balls- green candy melts
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, add cake mix, eggs, water, oil, pudding, and yogurt. Beat on medium for 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly beat in green decorating paste until you get desired color of green. Pour batter into paper lined mini cupcake tins. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool completely.
2. To prepare frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar until creamy and thick. Divide frosting into 2 bowls then add in a few drops of yellow food coloring or decorating paste into one.
3. Frost cupcakes and sprinkles if desired.
48 mini cupcakes
Note: I put remainder of cake batter in a sprayed 9"round cake pan and baked about 15-18 minutes. (this is what I used to make the 20 cake balls)
For Cake Balls- crumble the thoroughly cooled 9" cake and add 1/2-3/4 cup of the cream cheese frosting, mix really well with a spoon. Shape into walnut sized balls and place in the freezer for about 20 minutes. Melt candy melts according to package directions and dip cake balls in candy melts, letting excess drip off. Place on wax paper and immediately add sprinkles. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!!
