When you're taking it back to the 50's for your bridal shower theme, you need a perfect dessert to go with. These milkshake cupcakes will be perfect! We chose a French Vanilla Cake mix to give our cupcake that delicious vanilla taste that a classic vanilla milkshake would have! It will make you feel like you are sipping away on that shake at a retro diner!
- 1 Box French Vanilla Cupcake Mix
- 3 Eggs
- 1 c. Water
- 1/3 c. Vegetable Oil
- 1 Can White Frosting
Preheat your oven 325 degrees. Combine the French Vanilla Cake Mix, eggs, water and oil in a mixing bowl and mix on low speed for approximately 30-45 seconds and then beat at medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
Place the baking cups into the cupcake tin and pour batter evenly into each cup. Cook at 325 degrees for 17-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Fill your piping or Ziploc bag with icing and pipe the white frosting onto the cupcake.
Place a Red Medium Gumball on top of the cupcake.
Cut a 3" inch piece of the Turquoise Striped Paper Straw and stick it in the top of the cupcake to resemble a straw sticking out of a milkshake.
Your Milkshake Cupcakes are now ready to serve! We served ours at our Retro Bridal Shower on silver painted Footed Cake Stands. They were a huge hit and were a perfect compliment to the retro theme! Make sure to serve the cupcakes on a place setting of Red Gingham Dinner Plates and Light Blue Dessert Plates!
