Cream Soda Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

Deliciously sweet and surprisingly light and fluffy these Cream Soda Cupcakes have only two ingredients! Just a box of cake mix and a can of cream soda. The result is a cupcake that is sweet but not overbearing, a light cupcake that has a texture similar to angel food cake. Plus it’s pink! Perfect for a party, a baby shower, afternoon tea or a sweet snack.

I made these cupcakes to take for a fun outdoor lunch with a friend. With four kids ranging in age from eleven to six I wanted some versatile that kids would love and the adults too. These were a success! The kids ate them so quickly and quietly it was hard to believe that they even had any. Plus, they were perfect for a picnic. And with the super cool Cream Soda Cream Cheese Icing the hint of pink was the ideal topping not too sweet and a little tangy. Top with your favourite sprinkles and they are perfect.
