How to make my Funfetti Sheet Cake into CUPCAKES:â

đ§ The recipe as written makes 34-36 funfetti cupcakes. â
đ§ Bake at 350°F for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the tops are very lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. â
đ§ Place the pan on a cooling rack and let the cupcakes come to room temperature before frosting. â
đ§ I recommend doubling the frosting recipe.â
