I am so thrilled to have Aly from Entirely Eventful Day sharing her Bubble Gum Cupcakes with all of you! Vanilla cupcakes with bubble gum frosting! Perfect for a kids birthday party! She’s always got something fun up her creative sleeve! Please welcome her by either leaving a comment or visiting her site…….or both! Enjoy!
Hello Friends! I’m Aly from Entirely Eventful Day and I am so thrilled to be here. I am excited to share this fun cupcake recipe with you. It’s the absolute perfectly playful Summer dessert. These cupcakes are made with a cake mix so they are easy and fun to make too! I’ve seen some bubble gum cupcake recipes where both the frosting and cake are bubble gum flavored. This seemed like overkill to me, in this case only the frosting is bubble gum flavored. If you like this recipe, come on over and see more of my recipe ideas 🙂

How to Make Bubble Gum Cupcakes
Supplies:
- White Cake Mix
- 2 tbs Butter
- 3 tbs Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 3 Eggs
- 2/3 cup Milk
- 2 tbs Vanilla
1. Melt 2 tbs. butter in the microwave, let it cool slightly so it’s not hot but still liquid
2. Combine cake mix, butter, 3tbs. heavy cream, 1/2 cup sour cream in mixing bowl and cream together for about 30 seconds.
3. Add 3 eggs, 2/3 cup milk, and 2 tbs. vanilla and continue mixing until batter is light and creamy.
I’m not going to lie, the batter is amazingly delish. I had a hard time actually baking it.
4. Fill your cupcake liners 2/3 the way full. I like to double my cupcake liners because I think it’s cuter.
5. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
6. Remove from oven, let cool completely before frosting.
Bubble Gum Frosting
Disclaimer: if you love bubble gum like I love bubble gum you are going to have a hard time not eating this frosting by the handful.
You will need
1/2 cup butter (one stick) at room temperature
8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
4-5 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs vanilla
3tbs heavy cream
1 packet of Bubblegum flavor Frosting Creations (available at WalMart in cake aisle)
1 packet pearly pink Sixlets (available at WalMart in cake aisle)
1. Beat butter and cream cheese together until creamy.
2. Add a cup of powdered sugar at a time.
3. After about 2-3 cups, add the heavy cream and vanilla.
4. Continue to add powdered sugar.
5. Add the Bubblegum flavor Frosting Creations packet
5. Beat for five minutes until light and fluffy.
Keep refrigerated.
Once your cupcakes are completely cool, it’s time to frost.
Now, I like to fill my cupcakes and frost them too. Here’s how: fill a big zipper bag with your frosting, cut a corner off and create your own little pastry bag. Experiment with how much to cut off. Remember you can always cut off more. Once you’ve got your make-shift pastry bag ready, use a knife to cut an X in the top of your cupcake (pictured above).
Then just insert your pastry bag into the X and squeeze lightly. Frosting will fill the cupcake and then you can frost the top in a circular motion starting from the outside of the cupcake.
Garnish with these adorable pearly pink Sixlet Candies or a real gumball.

Cake came out really good and moist. Couldn’t find the bubble gum flavoring so I made my own bubble gum syrup- water and sugar in a pot and boil with double bubble- added that to the frosting and colored the frosting- half pink and half blue. Came out so cute and tasted great!!
