Fancy cupcakes are all the rage. Pretty designs are featured on TikTok and Instagram all the time. And they look great. But a lot of those decorations are tricky to mimic, especially if you're not a baker. Like me.


Plus some of them require fancy tools or ingredients most people just don't have on hand.


It's ok though, I've learned how to cheat my way through many recipes.


My fabulous 5 minute homemade blueberry pie is a favorite.


So I've figured out a way that I can still look like a pro with a boxed cake mix and a paper stencil to make a dreamy dessert that's Instagram worthy.


Don't believe me? Check the recipe how to below.

And here's a teeny video to show you exactly how simple it is to look like a baking superstar.
