Funfetti Cupcakes

Whenever I have to make treats for a school bake sale, I try to find a simple classic recipe that I know people will buy. While I personally enjoy cupcakes with unique flavor combinations and gourmet ingredients, I know ALL of my high school friends love Funfetti cupcakes. This simple recipe is a homemade take on the cute and delicious Funfetti cupcakes you can make with a box mix. If I were to make these cupcakes again, I would probably look for prettier smaller sprinkles. I may have gone a little overboard with the sprinkles in the batter, so feel free to reduce the amount of sprinkles used, but Funfetti is always a hit!
