The last two weeks I’ve worked with mini cupcakes. They are fun because they are bite sized—but they are a lot of work.

The last two weeks I’ve worked with mini cupcakes. They are fun because they are bite sized—but they are a lot of work.
You may have noticed that I did not post at all last week. I took the week off, not because I needed a break or didn’t feel like writing, but because I was busy! Every night last week was spent baking cupcakes, whipping up frosting, or decorating.
This year we made Strawberry Lemonade cupcakes and they turned out delicious. We dressed up on box of lemon cake mix, a box of lemon pudding, and a box of strawberry Jello into something that surprised me. We doubled the recipe so there would be enough for both of us to take to work, but I’ll give you the instructions for a single batch.
Over the weekend I asked my brother what kind of cake he wanted. He said he wanted something chocolate and something cheesecake. It didn’t take me long to come up with an idea—and a way to incorporate a yummy surprise.
My brother has nicknamed this creation “Cupuffins” because they really are good without the frosting, like muffins, but the frosting is really tasty too, which makes them cupcakes. Hence: Cupuffins.
