So, while I’d love to say that I am the inventor of all fluffy frosting, I simply can’t. It turns out, the genius people that make corn syrup beat me to it! Because I’m such a gourmet baker (nobody laugh) I simply bake some cupcakes according to the directions on the box.

You will need:

  • A box of white cake mix

  • Cupcake liners

  • A cupcake tin

  • Light Corn Syrup

  • Egg whites

  • Salt

  • White Sugar

White Cupcakes with fluffy frosting

While the cupcakes are baking, you can whip up your fluffy frosting recipe! Depending on your mixer, go ahead and mix everything at high speed for 4-6 minutes until the frosting is thick and forms peaks. The magic really happens when the speed of your mixer cranks up.

I used a fancy schmancy frosting piping bag as you can see (they sell them at the grocery store in the baking aisle). Using a piping bag really helps you create a fabulous frosting effect.

Since I’m obsessed with sprinkles, you can guarantee that I top all of my cupcakes with them! These cupcakes are rather sticky, which makes them a perfect landing spot for your pretty sprinkles. There you have it! The fluffiest homemade frosting!
