Easy Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Cupcakes Recipe
We are in love with our new Easy Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Cupcakes Recipe! If you are addicted so Starbucks then you must give this recipe a try! We call this recipe easy because it’s made from a white box cake mix but with a few extra ingredients this recipe is a big hit!!
You already know how much we love our Starbucks recipes because our Starbucks Lemon Cake Copycat recipe is a big hit with many of you! You have also proven a love for our Starbucks Java Chip Copycat Recipe here too!
The trick to this amazing recipe is to use the Starbucks Via coffee packets and Torani Caramel Sauce. The Torani caramel sauce is a rich and creamy sauce that completely makes this recipe special. I haven’t found another sauce that tastes as good as this one does. It’s worth every penny!  You can use your favorite Starbucks Via Coffee packets too.
Here’s how we made this one:

If you want the same look of frosting in our photo then you will need to use a piping bag with this Wilton Round tip as seen here.
We also have a printable for the cupcake wraps that have the Starbucks logo on them. Click here to download the Starbucks wrap cupcake printable. Be sure to print them on a thicker paper. A card stock paper like this would hold up nicely.
These look delicious. Thanks for giving us your recipe and the templates. Will be making these for my nephew’s birthday.
Are these ok to make the night before? Would they end up a little soggy or would they be ok? Looking forward to trying these! 🙂
They will be just fine. I always make these ahead of time. If the weather is really hot or humid, you may want to refrigerate them if needed.
