Our Test Kitchen staff suggests dressing up cupcakes from a mix with canned frosting and candied flowers. Don't want to fuss with perfectly placing the flowers? Crumble them for a fun confetti look.

Ingredients

1 package white or yellow cake mix (regular size)
1 can (16 ounces) white or vanilla frosting
40 to 50 Candied Flowers

Directions

Prepare cake batter according to package directions.
Fill greased, foil or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Frost cupcakes. Decorate with candied flowers.

Editor's Note

Verify that flowers are edible and have not been treated with chemicals.
