although, I think he had ulterior motives...
Apparently some people make cupcakes from scratch.
I don't really know how to do that-- so I generally stick with Betty.
Although, I do have a little secret to add some "umph" to Mrs. Crocker's cupcakes...
instead of water, I add pudding. Already mixed up, Jello instant vanilla pudding.
I use about 1 and 3/4 cups of vanilla pudding instead of the 1 and 1/3 cups of water it calls for...
and I like to put it in a tight sealed Tupperware and shake away instead of stirring.
I'm particular like that.
I also think that cereal should be eaten out of a cup instead of a bowl, but that's another post.
Although, around here, we're not too particular about some things...
I mean, really not particular...

Has anybody ever used this silicone bakeware stuff?I was a little skeptical at first...
Fearing my delicious baked goods would turn into unidentifiable blobs...
which they did...
But when I cut the tops off, you could kinda tell a little better what they were supposed to be...
And then I learned my lesson... not to fill the cups so full...
Turns out, it was the Indian, not the arrow :)
But he didn't mind...
Check back tomorrow for the sequel of the valentines cupcake saga,
"The Eating of the Valentines Cupcakes"
To be continued...
:)
Those are the most beautiful chocolate heart cupcakes I've ever seen! :)
ReplyDeleteI have wondered about the silicon bakeware, too. Seems like the chemicals would get into the food. Glad you tried it, I might, too. Kids licking beaters is the BEST! I remember those days. And we are told not to eat raw eggs, but we always did in cake batter and cookie batter.
ReplyDeleteI will try the pudding hint. Sounds good.
Now you need to bake St. Patrick shamrock muffins.

thanks carrie :) again, it wasnt the indian, it was the arrow :)
ReplyDeleteand rachel-- yeah-- i hear ya on the chemicals... but it says they are good up to 500 degrees, i figured we'd be pretty safe at 350 :) I dont know how good of reasoning that was...
yes! shamrock muffins sounds like a great idea.. in all the extra time i'm going to have in the next couple of weeks :) hey-- its times like that, that will keep me sane over the next two weeks! Moving day is saturday! AHHH!!!
I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only "weirdo" who eats (dry) cereal from a cup :o) !!
