Watermelon Cupcakes are party perfect! Layers of green vanilla cake and watermelon red cake filled with mini chocolate chips, topped with colorful Watermelon Buttercream Frosting and sprinkled with “watermelon seeds” (chocolate-covered sunflower seeds) make these so fun for summertime picnics, baby showers and One In A Melon birthday parties! THE BEST PARTY CUPCAKES!This is my go-to recipe for the best party cupcakes ever – so moist and filled with the perfect soft crumb, and sky-high cupcake perfection! Perfect even without frosting! For Watermelon Cupcakes I use vanilla cake mix and vanilla instant pudding mix, but you can mix-and-match this up any way you want. These are some other wonderful combinations:
