I am the kind of person that when I like something…I will wear, eat, or make that thing forever.
The other day I was talking with a friend about clothing. She informed me that I was a layers kind of girl. I must have had a funny look on my face because she proceeded to say that I always have on 1-2 tank tops in different colors with a sweater and a necklace or earrings. It is so true! She completely described my all time go-to outfit. Later on that day I realized that I have been crushing on the same things for the past year or two. I guess it is safe to say that I know what I like.
Things I have been obsessing over for quite a while:
1. Ruffles
2. Cuff Bracelets
3. Green Smoothies
4. Cardigans and Tank Tops
5. Zebra print
6. Cupcakes
7. Sprinkles and Glitter
8. Shopping for Food Props
9. Wearing different patterns together
10. NUTELLA
A few weeks ago we had a dinner at our church and I volunteered to make dessert. I know…shocker there 
I had a jar of Nutella and a few jars of half full sprinkles that needed used up. (Nutella is one of those things I always keep on hand.) As I looked through the cupboard I found that I had one white cake mix left. I love making semi-homemade desserts that don’t take a lot of time. There are a few extra ingredients that can be mixed into cake mixes to give them a great homemade taste.
Even my desserts have layers in them. Cupcakes with frosting that is layered with lots of sprinkles! I took all my half full jars of pink sprinkles and made my own custom topping for these cute Funfetti Nutella Cupcakes.
The cupcakes were good, but the frosting…oh, my! This frosting was so delicious!!! I am in love with how fluffy and creamy the Nutella and whipping cream made this frosting. When it was piped on, it looked like a chocolate soft serve cone! You could seriously just eat the frosting with a spoon!
Now here is the best part of these cupcakes…today is World Nutella Day. I had no idea when I started editing the pictures of these Funfetti Nutella Cupcakes this past weekend.
It was fate that I had these all ready to share with you.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, buttermilk, and pudding. Beat on low for 1 minute, then beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. Stir in the sprinkles by hand.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Bake at 350* for 18-20 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- Cream the butter and Nutella together. Add the salt and vanilla and 2 Tbsp. whipping cream. Beat until creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
- After all the powdered sugar is beaten in, add the last 2 Tbsp. whipping cream and beat for 1-2 minutes on medium. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes and top with sprinkles if desired. Makes 26 cupcakes.
Notes
If you don't have buttermilk, you can also add 1 Tbsp. lemon juice and then finish filling with milk to equal 1 cup. Let stand for 5 minutes before using.

That’s how my recipe was today too! I was like OHMIGOD get that sucker edited for release!
I love layers – I’m a tank under shirt girl. So the color sticks out the bottom and my fat rolls don’t show as much. 
Whiiiich I’ll need to hide more after I eat all these cupcakes…

I’m pretty sure that’s why I became a layers girl. Layers just help smooth out the rolls and the color distracts from the other rolls! Cupcakes and rolls…it’s bound to happen!
Dying for this frosting!

No don’t die…then you won’t get the frosting. And you really really want to try this one…it was so good!!!
I always wear a cami under my shirts. Not for color but to tuck into my jeans so when I bend over my crack doesn’t show. TMI???
Anywhooooo, these cupcakes look delicious. And your photos are gorgeous!!!

Yes, extra tanks and camis for crack control is a much needed thing! hahaha! You do get the award for the funniest comment though!
These look amazingly delicious. Love funfetti; love nutella (who doesn’t?!). I’d love it if you’d link up at this week’s Off the Hook!

I can’t even imagine not liking Nutella. It is the best stuff in a jar!!!
Sprinkles and Nutella are sorta my favorite things ever, so these win at life.

These look so good and of course so beautiful and festive!

Amen to never tiring of Nutella! I just finished off the jar in our cupboards
The frosting is definitely the best part of these cupcakes. The cupcake was good, but oh! That frosting! Gives me shivers thinking about it!
how fun! i’m very very simple, lots of black and gray. i could use some more layers in my life, as well as cupcakes like this!
teresa recently posted..Chicken Salad Sandwiches
I think we could all use layers of cupcakes in our life. I wear a lot of black too, but usually with the bright tanks!
I too love shopping for props
Although, it’s more window shopping than actual shopping so far.
Can’t believe how fluffy that frosting looks. I swear I can almost taste it in my mouth.

I wish all I did was window shop for props. I am addicted to finding cute dishes at Goodwill…at least they are cheap!
Love these! They look yummy and pretty which is a perfect combo!

Thanks Carrian! They were fun ones to decorate and photograph!
I wear the same thing over and over and over. Creature of habit. And I’m cheap
and would rather buy camera lenses and ingredients than a new shirt. Who am I ? lol
I love your decorating skills on these. Beautiful work!

I think we all get comfortable in just a few things that we were over and over! I’m with you…lately my clothing money goes into props and chocolate!
Great minds think alike! I shared a recipe for Nutella cupcakes and was planning on adding some sprinkles to them. Love how yours turned out!

Those cupcakes look delicious! Every time I bake with Nutella, I always have the problem of getting it off my spoon/measuring cup, because it sticks. Any tips?

The words nutella and cupcakes are always music to my ears. These look wonderful!
