How to Elevate Basic Store-Bought Cake Mix Taste Amazing

Store-bought cake mix is inherently convenient, but a few adjustments can elevate it to a point where your guests will be eager to know your secret.

Typically, store-bought cake mix calls for just three additional components: water, oil, and eggs. However, by making a couple of substitutions, you can transform the “store-bought” taste into something “homemade.” Swap out the oil for melted butter and replace the water with milk. This simple change results in a significantly richer cake.

Once you’ve incorporated these ingredients, allow your cake mix to beat vigorously on high for a full 2 minutes using your electric mixer. This step is often mentioned on the box, but many people tend to overlook it. But this step helps integrate air bubbles into the batter, contributing to a light and fluffy interior. So, you’ll want to remember this one. 

Additionally, resist the urge to open the oven while your cupcakes are baking, especially during the first half of the baking time. Instead, wait until you’re ready to check for doneness. Prematurely opening the oven can cause a rapid drop in temperature, potentially deflating the air bubbles inside the cake and compromising its fluffiness.

Easy Ingredients DIY Wish Cupcakes

  1. Store-bought cake mix in whatever flavor is your preference. Some of our favorites for recipes like this are vanilla and confetti because our family likes vanilla, but feel free to switch it up!
  2. Store-bought white frosting in any flavor. Vanilla and cream cheese are some of our favorites, but anything will work.
  3. Food coloring in purple. The best kind of food coloring for frosting and baking in general is the gel type. It tends to work better than liquid in frosting because it’s not as messy, and you can use less.

This color set is so vivid and we use it over and over again. You will only need a few drops of color so you can use these for so many party themes!

Do not mix red and blue food dye

For some reason they told us in school that Blue + Red = Purple, but much like colored pencils, food dye doesn’t mix well. With food dye, Blue + Red = Muddy Gray.  

Luckily, you can get purple food dye for cheap. Here is a link to the brand I used. 

Amazon.com : Spice Select Neon Food Colors Blue Green Pink Purple 1.2 Oz : Grocery & Gourmet Food

This purple food dye is a very pretty cool-toned purple, but I warmed it up slightly with a drop of pink to make the color brighter. Mix-and-match until you find the perfect shade for your cupcakes. Try to match Asha’s dress to get the best wish cupcakes look. 

Tips for Using Food Dye and Store-bought Frosting

For most people, American buttercream or generic store-frosting is a little too sweet. Kids love it, but if you want to make the cupcakes actually more delicious, there’s a few things you can do.

1. Whip you’re frosting: While being shipped, the frosting gets condensed. Not only does this make frosting not look as good on cupcakes, but it makes it taste worse. You can fix this by whipping the frosting on med-high for 2- 3 minutes.

2. Add whipping cream: You can balance out the sweetness by adding a little heavy whipping cream. Because whipping cream turns into whipped cream when you whip it, it will also make your frosting fluffier.

3.Save time by dying the frosting the same time you whip it: Add the food dye at the beginning of this process so that it’s fully combined by the time you finish.

How to Make Wish Cupcakes

These cupcakes are inspired by Asha’s beautiful purple dress and the floating wish orbs you see in the movie. I used two shades of purple for a dreamy look. These cupcakes are elegant and fit for a princess, but very easy to make!

Step 1: Make your boxed cupcake mix. Use any flavor you like and use our tips to make them extra delicious!

Step 2: After the cupcakes cool, put them in the fridge to make them easier to work with. 

Step 3: Dye your frosting a medium cool purple. 
              Pro-tip: Dye the frosting a lighter purple then separate half into a separate bowl. With the half that is still 
              in the mixer, add more food dye to make it a darker purple. Then swirl the colors together in your piping  
              bag to get a variegated effect.

Step 4: Put the frosting in a piping bag. (You can also use a gallon-sized Ziploc if you don’t have one)

Step 5: Snip the tip of the frosting bag and carefully pipe on the cupcake in a circular motion from the outside in. (Alternatively, you can spread frosting on cupcakes with a spoon. Make sure to smooth it out by rotating the spoon in a circle to make a swirl.)

Step 6: Add a generous amount of gold and silver edible pearls. You can also use gold and silver sprinkles for a sparkly look. 

Step 7: Add the printable cupcake toppers.

ABOUT WISH

Wish is the latest animated feature from Walt Disney Studios. Wish is also the first Disney feature film in decades to use traditional 2D animation. Wish combines the classic art of hand-drawn animation with the technology of today to create an animated film unlike anything we have ever seen. Wish features a beautiful and brave Afro-Latina princess Asha, and her adorable animal side kick “Valentino”; a goat who wears adorable pajamas! We are already in love!

In “Wish,” Asha, a sharp-witted idealist, makes a wish so powerful that it is answered by a cosmic force—a little ball of boundless energy called Star. Together, Asha and Star confront a most formidable foe—the ruler of Rosas, King Magnifico—to save her community and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen. Featuring the voices of Academy Award®-winning actor Ariana DeBose as Asha, Chris Pine as Magnifico, and Alan Tudyk as Asha’s favorite goat, Valentino, the film is helmed by Oscar®-winning director Chris Buck (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (“Raya and the Last Dragon”), produced by Peter Del Vecho (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) and co-produced by Juan Pablo Reyes (“Encanto”). Jennifer Lee (“Frozen,” “Frozen 2”) executive produces—Lee and Allison Moore (“Night Sky,” “Manhunt”) are writers on the project. With original songs by Grammy®-nominated singer/songwriter Julia Michaels and Grammy-winning producer/songwriter/musician Benjamin Rice, plus score by composer Dave Metzger, “Wish” opens only in theaters on Nov. 22, 2023.
