Because cupcakes just taste better with sprinkles. Or so Paisley says. {That was her favorite part}
I got my new frosting tip in the mail and have been dying to try it out. I made homemade “funfetti” cupcakes with my favorite cream cheese buttercream frosting. To die for. {But, sadly, I wouldn’t know….but my kids approved!} I couldn’t decide on which sprinkles I liked better—the big or little ones. Hum. It’s a toss-up!
I have come to the conclusion that I really don’t like cake mixes. I like the texture of a cake from scratch. It’s the same way with brownies. And, I’ll let you in on a little secret. Ready? They really aren’t that much harder to make than ones from a box. And they taste so.much.better! I tried to make chocolate cupcakes from a box mix the other day…and they completely flopped. Literally, flopped OVER the wrapper. They were so airy. Instead of having my OCD take over and throwing them in the trash, I scooped out the cupcakes into a bowl, added powdered sugar and peanut butter. Rolled them into balls, and dipped them in chocolate. {Which will be the LAST time I make cake balls. I HATE making them. Honestly. Really, I can’t stand making them. So, if I am ever tempted again, just remind me that I hate it! Thanks!} I’m not sure how they tasted. But, Ben gave them 2 thumbs up. I’m beginning to wonder if he is just being nice about how my baked goods are turning out, or if they really do taste good. I’m sure I’ll go on a baking spree in about 9 months and try all these recipes again. Then the truth will come out.
By the way, I have about 9 cupcakes left over. Want one?
Ok, you're too funny. You're the one that introduced us all to cake balls... and now you don't like to make them ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, and if I had a KitchenAid mixer, I'm sure making cakes and brownies from scratch would be easy, too! :) You're just lucky!
Love ya! I wish we lived closer, and I would totally take you up on those extra cupcakes!

stick those extras in the mail! I'm NOT on a NO SUGAR or NO CARBS kick. :) LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good, staying away from dairy completely. I don't think I would fair so well. Have you tried any of the soy counterparts? Tofutti brand is pretty good. I bought their cream cheese, but I haven't tried it yet. Their sour cream is pretty good though.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh...I love those big sprinkles. And I'm super excited about the new frosting tips arriving. Can't wait. Which did you use to frost these ones?
ReplyDeleteStop making baked goods and torturing yourself!!! lol!
