A few weeks back, I posted on Facebook asking for a dessert suggestion for Labor Day. I gave you guys the choice of picking between a Red Velvet Cake with Cheesecake Pudding and Skinny Funfetti Cupcakes.
Many of you chose the Funfetti to begin with…. and the Red Velvet fans came out of the woodwork!! So, we all know how the story ended… I made the Red Velvet. And, I even made it a second time.

Just the same, I’ve been thinking about those cupcakes… wondering how they tasted. And, I always like an excuse to bake.
As I was meal planning for Virginia, I immediately knew that we were going to be making them. Afterall, I had a 9 year old and a 6 year old that I would be cooking for that I KNEW would JUST LOVE THEM. So, that’s exactly what we did.
The premise of the cake is very similar to the red velvet and the diet cake I made for my birthday. It uses a diet soda instead of eggs and oil. Trust me, you won’t miss those caloric ingredients at all.

INGREDIENTS
Let’s pause for a moment and appreciate the fact that I got to use this bad boy…
Add your Sprite Zero. It will get a little frothy… don’t worry!
I seriously may need to get one of these….
I can’t remember when I last made funfetti… such pretty batter!
Ready to hit the oven!
Let the baking begin!
So cute when they came out of the oven!
Combining our ingredients
Working that Whisk!
6. Spread over cooled cupcakes. Makes enough frosting for 24 cupcakes.
She had quite a few to frost….
She insisted on a frosting bag… but we didn’t get out all the tips and whatnot. Apparently, they have that??
Looking all professional…
Very Serious about her Work…
Hailey nor I frosted this sad little cupcake….
Carefully adding the sprinkles
She did such a GREAT job!
These looked so yummy!
7. Taste test these bad boys, and share with the family.
Very proud of one of her pieces of art…. and about to devour it
Going in for a bite….
The Small Boy particularly enjoys the frosting… on everything.
This was the one I ate. LOVED it!
Here’s what I love about these cupcakes…. EVERYTHING. The frosting was so different than what I’m used to. Less sweet, and more fluffy, and just so darn easy to make! The funfetti was a good time, as was the sprinkles. Seriously… these were awesome and I definitely recommend them!

Funfetti is a HUGE hit at my house all the time. And let me just say….the stabd mixer…def must have. I <3 mine!
These look great! I saw a recipe on Pinterest that was for a Funfetti dip. It included a box of funfetti, greek yogurt and cool whip. Once mixed all together you eat it with animal crackers. It looked amazing!! Something I’ll make when I have company so I don’t eat it all
What fun!!! Thanks for posting!
OMG, I am so making this with my daughter! Love the photos of H&H!! I am thinking of getting the Halloween Funfetti mix and sprinkles and making this for her kindergarten Halloween party!!! THANK YOU!!!!
This is genius! I am in love. Thanks for sharing!
These are going on my must-make (SOON) list….my biggest cake weakness is funfetti, I actually tell people all of the time that when I actually get married, my wedding cake will be a traditional looking wedding cake on the outside, but then we’ll cut into it and BAM funfetti! It’s like food’s version of the mullet.
They’re perfect! I hope you enjoy!
I made these for my son’s Kindergarten class. They were adorable and tasty. It was nice to let the teachers know they could eat them guilt free!
Oh yay! I love that they worked out for you! My niece and nephew (as you can see from the pics) loved them!
Funfetti is my all time favorite cake mix so I was thrilled when I found this recipe on your site. I made these last week and wanted to share a couple of things with you. Overall, these were great! To get the full 24 cupcakes I had to use less than 1/4 c. I’d say I filled it a little over halfway to get 24 cupcakes. For the icing, you have 1 (1.5 ounce) box of pudding. I used that and it make the icing very thick. I think when I make these again, I’ll use the next size down. Thanks for posting such great stuff!
