If you love the thrill of uncovering surprises and the festive spirit of the holidays, then these Santa’s list-cakes are just what you need. Inspired by the excitement of discovering whether you made the naughty or nice list, each cupcake is filled with a hidden surprise of either joyful colored sprinkles or mischievous black sugar sprinkles. Topped with fluffy vanilla buttercream frosting, these cupcakes not only taste heavenly, but are also a fun, interactive treat for holiday gatherings.
And because holiday baking can be overwhelming, we’re making things a bit easier by using a boxed cake mix. We’re making a few upgrades to yield especially delicious results, cutting down on prep time without sacrificing flavor. You can even bake the cupcakes a day ahead and scoop out the wells, ensuring they stay moist and ready for filling. These cupcakes are perfect for busy bakers looking for a festive and fun dessert.
