Seriously.
I thought moving stuff to the new place was a good idea.. with a fractured back.. yeah.
Anyway, I'm not feeling too hot tonight and don't have too much pep or energy so I'd like to share a guest post I did a few months back for Beth at Arrow in the Eye.
Enjoy my Betty Crocker Successful Fail.
If you're familiar with my blog, you know that I have a terrible sugar addiction--I can never get enough! The
Until I was flipping through my Betty Crocker Just Cupcakes cookbook.. Look at what I found right away:
B.I.N.G.O. And these were the cupcakes I was gonna make--o! |
Wrong, Annie. Wrong.
I took the easy route and used boxed white cake mix (I usually do homemade but I was trying to save a little time). They came out beautifully from the oven.
Perfect, right? |
Whew, now the hard part was over. Time for decorating fun!!

Oh no.. they didn't look anything like the picture. Wa-wa-waaaa. I was so bummed..Then my husband came home and gave me a little bit of a pep talk and I decided they weren't so bad after all. They were kind of cute in their own Betty Crocker fail sort of way..
By morning, I decided I was really proud of my cupcakes. This is the first time I've ever done any kind of dessert decorating like this (minus my 4H cake decorating fails--I was the only person in my division and I still placed 2nd or 3rd in my category). I guess you gotta start somewhere, right?
Here they are on display at the fundraiser. I got so many nice compliments on them and they went over very well!
If you're wanting to make critter cupcakes, here are the candies I used:
Puppies
Mini Oreos--cut in half (for ears)
Chocolate chips (eyes)
M&Ms (nose)
Small gumdrop--cut vertically into thirds (tongue)
Kittens
Small gumdrops (ears)
Chocolate chips (eyes and nose)
Twizzlers--cut into 1 inch strips (whiskers)--cut additional tiny piece for mouth
I think they are cute!
