Wedding Cupcakes

                     Wedding Cupcakes

1 box white cake mix
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup granulated white sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/3 cups water
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
4 large egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place cupcake liners in cupcake pan. Makes about 36.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, flour, sugar and salt. Add remaining ingredients
and beat with mixer for 2 minutes.
3. Using an ice cream scoop, fill each liner about 3/4 full. Bake for 18 minutes, or until
toothpick comes out clean.
                Wedding Cake Frosting
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup shortening
2 tsp. clear vanilla extract
8 cups powdered sugar
milk for desired consistency for piping
Wilton's White White icing color (optional)
Cream butter and shortening together for 10 minutes. This will prevent the frosting from
haveing a greasy texture to it. Add vanilla, powdered sugar and milk and mix on med to
med-high until smooth. Add Wilton's White White icing color, if desired, a little bit at a
time until desired shade of white is achieved. I used a large start tip to pipe my cupcakes
and decorated with gold disco dust and pearls.
