I made these Easter Funfetti Cupcakes have a surprise .

Have you seen the Funfetti Cake Mix and Frostings yet?

You may have a hard time finding them these days. 

 

Easter Cupcakes Funfetti Surprise filled with sprinkles

 

I saw these awesome bold aqua blue Funfetti Ooey Gooey Bars that Tonia of The Gunny Sack posted back in March.

 

When I saw them I was like......WHAT, WHERE and HOW can I get my hands on that cake mix.

I searched high and low and never saw them until one day I was in Walmart and finally there they were on a shelf at eye level.

There are four gloriously bold and beautiful colors. Yellow, Green, Blue, and Orange.

 But wait the frostings come in Pink, Purple, Blue and Orange.

Where is the pink and purple cake mix? Well, I am hoping that we'll be seeing pink and purple Funfetti cake mix in the near future.

Look how bright and sunny the neon yellow funfetti cake mix is. I decided it would make a perfect Easter Cupcake flavored with lemon extract.

And that it would also be a perfect cupcake to try out a little idea I had been thinking about that would work perfectly with these Easter Cupcakes.

I had a few different kinds of Easter sprinkles on hand, Once I had the Easter cupcakes made I decided it would be so much fun to fill them with some Easter sprinkles.

Warning! The Easter green sprinkles I used had tiny little hard candy Easter eggs in it.

Towards the last few cupcakes, I filled I started removing the hard candy eggs from the green sprinkles. I was worried someone in my family would pick one up and take a big bite not expecting anything hard inside and chip a tooth.

I did tell everyone as they took a cupcake that they were filled with a surprise and might have some hard candies inside.

Next time I do this I will use plain sprinkles to be on the safe side. If you are serving these to guests it might be a good idea to add a little sign to your display warning they contain a hard candy surprise inside.

It is very easy to fill cupcakes. You don't need any special tools.

A sharp knife and a steady hand are all you need.

 Simply cut a circle out of the center, trim and fill with sprinkles or even strawberry sauce if the sprinkles don't appeal to you.

I have step by step pictures showing exactly how to remove the center of a cupcake and fill it on my How to Fill Cupcakes with Strawberry Sauce.
