Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place cupcake liners into cupcake pan and lightly spray with baking spray. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, sugar and eggs. Whisk together until smooth and butter is well incorporated. Add in the milk and yogurt and whisk to incorporate.

Add in flour mixture and whisk to bring together. Add in the watermelon Kool Aid and whisk until the batter is all pink and the Kool Aid is well incorporated.

Using an ice cream scoop, fill each cupcake mold ¾ full. (An ice cream scoop is not mandatory for this, it just aids in filling each mold with a consistent amount to result in evenly sized cupcakes. If you do not have an ice cream scoop, simply use a ¼ c measuring cup or a large spoon.)

Place into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with moist, but not wet, crumbs.
Once baked, remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for about 20 minutes or until they have reached room temperature.

Using the large end of a piping tip, press into the center of the cupcakes about ¾ of the way through to remove some of the cupcake. If you press in too shallow, you will only remove enough cupcake to fill with a couple of sprinkles. Once you have removed the cupcake center, use a toothpick to remove the piece that is in the piping tip and preserve it for later.

Fill with a small scoop of sprinkles. I used a ½ teaspoon to fill as it was about the size of the hole. Once the sprinkles are in the center, press the removed cupcake piece back into the hole. It will not look perfect and that is just fine. (Replacing the cupcake piece helps keep the sprinkles in place in the event that you pipe frosting, don’t like the look of it and remove it. Without it, the sprinkles would be removed with the frosting.)

Once all of your cupcakes are filled, using a piping bag fitted with a round tip and filled with watermelon buttercream, pipe frosting on. Using an even pressure, start in the center of the cupcake and pipe in a circle outwards then up until you have reached the top. You should be able to pipe around the cupcake about 3 times before reaching the top. If you do not like the way it looks, simply remove the frosting and start again.

Sprinkle with additional sprinkles or leave plain and top with a watermelon gummy candy if you wish to. Serve and enjoy!
