Rather than giving dessert up completely, I decided to try a dessert I don't have to feel as guilty about. These funfetti cupcakes do the trick and are so good!

Notes
You can use any other cake mix flavors! If you are making cupcakes with a dark cake mix, use a dark diet soda such as Diet Coke. If you are making light cake mix, use a light colored diet soda. I have tried Devil's Food Cake mix with Diet Coke and it was so good!
