Cupcakes....

So, yesterday I committed an unpardonable sin.... I bought cake mix... I feel that cake mix is something the devil created so that we wouldn't ever learn how to bake and be truly creative and learn how to make a delicious cake. Maybe I'm over-reacting a little. I was lazy. Which probably 99% of the people who buy cake mix are, plus maybe cake is just a receptacle for frosting, I don't know... But I bought it, and made mini cupcakes with the girls today.

Now, the consolation is that I DID make my own frosting. Which is a truly SECRET recipe... So secret they post it on the back of powdered sugar boxes everywhere. I can't tell you which brand or it will spoil the secret. It is the BEST frosting recipe I've ever used. Ever. I'm not the best froster of cupcakes, usually it ends up looking like a pile of poo (which is why my chocolate cupcakes are nicknamed "poo cakes") which, despite the horrible name these cupcakes are eaten so quickly there are no leftovers no matter how large of a batch I make. :( sadness.

These are not diet friendly. No baked goods should be... And since they are mini cupcakes, I can eat more... ;)


You can thank my daughters for the lovely display of sprinkles. Crunch. Crunch.

  1. *I* buy cake mixes all the time. I could count on my fingers the times I've made a cake from scratch. :P I've been intrigued with cupcakes lately. They're getting a lot of attention as serious baked goods, and I think I might try making some. Eventually.
