Just buy your favorite cupcake flavors at the local grocery store with plain frosting. Don’t go looking for the fancy colors or toppers. Plain vanilla or chocolate will work just great.
Then decorate the cupcakes however you’d like to make match your party theme. For extra fancy cupcakes, don’t go with your average sprinkles. Instead, get some fancy sprinkles and brownies or cookies to top your cupcakes.
For this batch of decorated cupcakes, i used a chunky gold sprinkle I found at in the cake decorating section at Michaels. I also crumbled some brownies, which I also brought pre-made.
