FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THE RECIPE CALLS FOR UNSALTED BUTTER BUT CAN I USE SALTED BUTTER INSTEAD?
Yes, you can! Just omit the extra salt called in the recipe.
WHAT TYPES OF SPRINKLES SHOULD I USE TO MAKE FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
The best sprinkles for making funfetti cupcakes are rainbow jimmies. They are long sprinkles. Do not use nonpareils (the little balls) as they quickly bleed their color.
CAN I FREEZE EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
Unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen up to 2-3 months. Follow these steps:
- Let cupcakes cool COMPLETELY.
- Wrap cupcakes tightly in plastic wrap.
- Place individually wrapped cupcakes in a plastic double zipper quart freezer bag.
To defrost, unwrap cupcakes and bring them to room temperature. Frost to your liking.
CAN I USE THIS RECIPE TO MAKE MINI EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES?
Yes, if you want to make these cupcakes in a miniature muffin tin instead of a regular muffin tin, use mini paper liners and bake them around 10-12 minutes. Check the cupcakes around 10 minutes. You can test for doneness by sticking a toothpick in the center of a cupcake. If it comes out clean, they are done.
STORING
Unfrosted cupcakes will keep well for 2 days at room temp, make sure they are covered. For longer storage, place them up to a week in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer. Frosted cupcakes must be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep in mind that they will lose some of their fluffiness once cooled
MAKE AHEAD EGGLESS FUNFETTI CUPCAKES
Cupcakes can be made ahead 1 day in advance, covered, and stored at room temperature. Frosting can also be made 1 day in advance, covered, and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
