A cupcake a day...



So lately I've been all about cupcakes. Love them. Any excuse to make them and I'm all over it.

Birthdays? Of course, call for cupcakes.

Visiting grandparents? Definitely a cupcake occasion.

Cake mix on sale? It would be a crime (a crime!) not to make cupcakes.

A new cupcake mix by Betty Crocker? What self respecting cupcake lover could walk by this in the store and not by a box or five?

Who cares if the new cupcake mix is just cake mix repackaged. Not me! The mix has just the right amount for one pan of 12 cupcakes. Which, let's face it, is better for my thighs. And the thing that really sold me was that they include 12 little cupcake liners. Too, too perfect!

Oh - and did you know you can substitute applesauce for oil in your recipes? Probably everyone in the world already knew that, but I just found out. This little fact saved me from a complete cupcake disaster and it totally worked. I didn't notice a difference in taste and neither did any of the other picky eaters in my house. Cool!

The cute picture above came from a way cool blog all about cupcakes. I will definitely be checking out this blog for more yummy cupcake ideas.

Applesauce in leu of oil??? I'd never heard of that....good to know! I loved that cupcake cake pan link you sent me. It looks a bit large and I'll most likely not buy one, but it was cute! :)

I can't believe that you fessed to Rob about putting something actually healthy in his food. This moment needs to be documented, Rob actually ate fruit!
