Well Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! On most Sunday's John and I go to our friends house and watch a movie, or Dexter when it's in season. Typically I bring along cupcakes, and obviously today was to be no different, except I got caught up with Dakota and forgot to make cupcakes... So, when I need to I grab a cake mix from the store.
Normally I make all of my cupcakes from scratch, but today time would not permit. To be honest, I really love Duncan Hines' cake mix, almost as much as homemade. It's delicious,
I'm not ashamed to use it.
I picked up this devil's food cake mix and a few essentials for a simple frosting. Instead of using the 1/3 cup of oil in the cake mix, I decided to use 1/3 cup of melted butter, Dakota recommended it and it makes the cupcakes very light!
Sprinkle a little green on top, and voila! St. Patty's Day cupcakes.
Easy solution for making cupcakes in a pinch.
Easy vanilla frosting:
8 oz. cream cheese
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. milk
Combine and beat until creamy, adjust powdered sugar to taste
