Cake Mix Dessert Recipes

I love easy dessert recipes. One way to make an easy dessert recipe is by using a cake mix. Cake mix dessert recipes really are the easiest way to make a yummy dessert.

Easy Cupcakes

One easy dessert recipes you can make is cupcakes. To make easy cupcakes, cake mix is also needed. Some of the best fun cupcake recipes use a cake mix.

Moist Cake

I  really love to bake. For a while, I was heavy into cake making. Used to love learning these techniques from a website called Cake Central. That was how I learned some secrets to some pretty good baked goods like cupcakes.  The best secret to a moist cake is, wait for it, yogurt and pudding, yep I learned that there.

Simple Cupcake Recipe

Using that yogurt secret, I incorporate it into the cake mix. To have the best cupcake recipe, all you need to do is doctor up some cake mix. Once you do that you can make a simple cupcake recipe.

M&M Recipes

There is a lot of m&m recipes out there. So making an m&m cake into fun cupcakes is a great idea for an m&m recipe! Plus by using the m&ms It would be easy cupcake decorating!

Easy Cupcake Decorating

As I mentioned using m&ms would be an easy cupcake decorating! You do not have to get fancy to decorate cupcakes. Just pipe on some frosting and throw on a little bit of m&ms and viola! A simple cupcake recipe that is fun!

Fun Cupcake Recipes

You can make one batch of cupcakes and use different fillings and icings to create different fun cupcake recipes. On this m&m cupcakes recipe, of course, decorate it with some mini M&M’s. After all who would not want one of these M&M cupcakes?

Because these m&m cupcakes is chocolate on top of chocolate, the M&M’s make it pop with bursts of color. That is what makes these fun cupcakes

Disney Cupcakes

I got inspired by Disney for this m&m recipe. They have a bakery in Walt Disney World Resorts that makes these amazing over the top cupcake goodies. I just downsized these fun cupcakes from Disney’s very large Cupcake version to this simple cupcake recipe.

This is not first Disney inspired cupcake I made. I have done 3 easy cupcakes recipes on Seduction in the Kitchen that was inspired by the Disney bakery:

• Maple Bacon Bourbon Pecan Cupcakes #OXOgoodcookies
• Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cupcakes: A Decadent Cupcake
• Apple Pie Cupcakes with Dumante Caramel Buttercream

Since I do write The Recipes Of Disney as well, I may be insipred by Disney for more easy cupcake recipes! I am at Disney a lot since I moved to Florida!
