Cupcake Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, whisk together egg whites, buttermilk, sour cream, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and orange emulsion until combined. Gradually add cake mix and blend until incorporated. Line a cupcake tin with liners and fill with batter.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Cranberry Filling
- Combine sugar, fresh cranberries, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until cranberries burst, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken and let cool.
White Chocolate Buttercream
- Melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream until smooth. Beat unsalted butter until fluffy, gradually mixing in ganache and powdered sugar until desired consistency.
Sugared Cranberries
- Boil water and sugar until dissolved. Dip cranberries into syrup, then roll in sugar. Set aside to dry.
Assembly
- Once cupcakes are cool, remove a core from each and fill with cranberry filling. Frost with white chocolate buttercream and garnish with sugared cranberries and white sprinkles.

Notes
