Ingredients: 1 box of white cake mix. 3 large eggs. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pink gel food coloring light and dark shades. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 4 cups powdered sugar. 2-3 tablespoons milk. Edible pink glitter optional. Edible pearl decorations optional.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Divide the cake batter into three separate bowls. Leave one bowl as it is, tint the second bowl with a light pink gel food coloring, and the third bowl with a darker pink gel food coloring. Adjust the color intensity to your preference. Start with the darkest pink batter and fill the cupcake liners 1/3 full. Follow with the medium pink batter filling another 1/3, and finish with the lightest pink batter filling the final 1/3 of the cupcake liner. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by beating the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, alternating between the two until you achieve a smooth and fluffy consistency. Divide the frosting into three separate bowls. Tint one bowl with the light pink gel food coloring, another with the medium pink, and leave one bowl white. Using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, pipe rosettes of the different shades of pink frosting onto the cooled cupcakes, creating an ombre effect. If desired, sprinkle edible pink glitter and add edible pearl decorations to give your cupcakes a royal touch. Serve and enjoy your Pink Ombre Ruffles Princess Cupcakes!
