50 Cupcake Recipes, Because Sometimes More Is More

Sprinkle Bakes

We'll always have a soft spot for cupcakes; they're cute, individually-portioned — because really, no one likes sharing — festive, and infinitely adaptable. Sure, you could hit up Sprinkles to get your fix, but why not bake your own? We've rounded up 50 stellar recipes ranging from the classics (Magnolia Bakery's vanilla, red velvet, and funfetti) to the super-creative (cotton candy, chocolate tahini, and honey lavender). Pin your favorites, and you'll be all set on the inspiration-front the next time a celebration rolls around.
