Today we’re celebrating someone very special. We’re celebrating Christina of Dessert for Two‘s upcoming wedding!! Surprise girl :)
I remember first “meeting” Christina. She found me on IG and her comment to me was, “I write a blog that’s called Dessert for Two. We should be friends.” and the rest was history. Seriously, y’all, if you don’t know Christina by now, you should know that she has one of the biggest hearts ever. She’s got so much love and she’s fierce. I love the country girl in her. She isn’t afraid to get dirty and has a killer talented blog. She’s marrying the man of her dreams soon and I only wish her the best. I hope you have years and years of happiness, bliss, and joy. I’m so lucky to call you a friend!
I felt that these white wedding cupcakes were very appropriate for this bridal shower ;) These cupcakes are so simple (really, you’ll be surprised what it took to make these) and they’re SUPER moist. It’s so easy to alter the buttercream, too, if you want to make it a color. I almost tried to do coral because it’s one of Christina’s wedding colors but I decided to keep it simple and elegant with the pearls.
Be sure to check out all the ladies who participated in Christina’s virtual bridal shower! Everyone brought such delicious goodies!!

White Wedding Cake Cupcakes
Yield: 3 dozen | Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 16.25 ounce box white cake mix
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/3 cup water
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract (depending on what flavor you’re going for)
1 cup sour cream
4 large egg whites
For the buttercream:
6 cups powdered sugar
2 cups butter, room temperature
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt. Attach the paddle attachment then add the rest of the ingredients and beat together until well incorporated.
- Scoop batter using a large ice cream scoop and place in lined muffin tin. If you use a large ice cream scoop, you’ll only need 1 scoop of the batter in each cavity.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in middle of cupcake comes out clean. Set aside to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, make the butter cream. Start by creaming the butter and powdered sugar together. Do this carefully so it doesn’t go everywhere. Slowly add the vanilla extract. Add the buttercream to a large piping bag fitted with your choice of piping tip.
- Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, pipe buttercream on top and immediately sprinkle candied pearls (or whatever decoration) on top.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

These are pretty much the wedding cupcakes of my dreams! So elegant!!
Congratulations to Christina, she’s such a sweetheart and I know she and her (very) lucky man are going to be very happy together. Perfect cupcakes for this special occasion!
I love how high you piled the frosting!! Cupcakes should always have at the very least equal portions so I’m loving that ;)
What a great friend you are! These cupcakes look dreamy, I wish I had a couple right now.
I love Christina! She was one of the first bloggers to reach out to me when I started my blog up! These cupcakes look perfect!

I love those pearl sprinkles! These are so pretty :)
I used an extra large closed star tip similar to Wilton No. 30 tip.
very cute cupcakes!
LOVING the pearls. And the liners are just right for Christina. HAPPY WEDDING SHOWER DAY CHRISTINA!!
How cute! I’m baking cupcakes for my sister-in-law’s hens night on Saturday… you’ve given me some great decoration inspiration!
These cupcakes are absolutely gorgeous!!
Your pictures are absolutely gorgeous! These cupcakes look awesome. The frosting pops off the page and makes me want to stick my finger in it. Great website. Thanks for the inspiring photography.
The wedding cupcakes are very pretty. My fiance is determined that you can make a wedding cake out of cupcakes. I’m guessing you would just have the 3 tier form and place the cupcakes like yours on it in the place of cakes layers. Does this sound right to you?
Yes, definitely! You can buy those 3 tiered cupcake holders or stands at most craft stores!
I made these for my 22yr old daughters birthday. My mom asked me if I really made them. Everyone Loved them and it was very easy.
There has been alot of recipes on here that I’ve tried and this is the first one that really turned out great!
I meant recipes I’ve tried off pinterest, not this specific person’s page. I try recipes on pinterest weekly and some are good and some dissapoint but this cake recipe was great!
Glad to hear it! :)
How long do you generally mix for your batter for. Made similar cakes like this before and some you mixed for 2 minutes and some for 5 minutes.
It really depends when it comes to baking how long you mix your batter for. I would just follow the instructions on how long to mix it. Generally speaking, I do anywhere from 2-7 minutes, all depending on the batter and type of cake/cupcake/muffin, etc.
These look amazing!
I am planning to make these for my baby shower actually and I’ve seen this same recipe with a 18.25 oz box white cake mix. Yours says 16.25 and in the store I was only able to find a 15.25 oz box (ugh). Should I decrease the amount of water or other wet ingredients because of this and if so, by how much?
No, you’ll be fine with you 15.25 box! :)
Lovely Cakes, I appreciate you took time to share it with all.
