Ingredients

• Yellow or Butter flavor Cake Mix
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1/3 oil
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoons cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare cake mix with buttermilk, oil and eggs. In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon, add melted butter and stir until crumbly. Add cupcake liners to a muffin pan, spoon about 1 tablespoon cake batter {I use a cookie dough scoop} to each liner. Sprinkle with cinnamon mixture, add 2 tablespoons more of cake batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.

Glaze and Decorating:

* 1/2 cup powdered sugar
* milk, VERY small drizzle

Directions:

Stir together powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency, you may need to add more milk if it’s too thick. Spoon glaze in the middle of the cupcake and let it drip down the sides. Immediately sprinkle with purple, yellow and green colored sugar.
