Krista & Lauren's Birthday (Diet) Cupcakes

I found these adorable cupcake holders days before heading to Kansas City for our annual "in-betweenie" celebration (the day in-between 2 of my friends birthdays), so I decided to make them some birthday cupcakes!
I also wanted to try out a recipe my cousin gave me for diet cupcakes!! It calls for 1 cake mix, a can of diet sprite and 2 egg whites. Mix together and bake according to the cake mix. She had also recently made a Nutella cream cheese icing (not diet) that was amazing, so I went for that too!! Here is the recipe:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Nutella
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cocoa powder
Add the cream cheese, Nutella and vanilla to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder and mix until the frosting is smooth.They were delightful!
Just 5 grams of fat and under 200 calories too!
Happy Birthday KW & LW!! :)
