Which cupcakes are best?

[Inchworm]

Who woulda thunk that one box of cake mix makes near 25 cupcakes...

I, umm, only need 25ish and bought 3 boxes and 3 icing tubs. I really like icing tub containers by the way ;)

It's all Duncan Hines stuff. I figure I'll try homemade when it's just for me and daughter. Daughter has been my tester for years. :D

:shrug:

1. duncan hines frosting is the bomb!

i can eat it right out of the container. Now to really make it moist, include a box of chococolate pudding mix in with the cupcake batter.

5. I can too !

I used to get in so much trouble for doing it.

I did buy 2 bags of chocolate chips... hmm.

:D

2. "Pineapple Supreme" doesn't belong on a best-of list.

[Inchworm]

3. It's a "what I got on my table" list

hehe

:hi:

4. Other. I like Spice cake w/ cream cheese frosting. :-)

[Inchworm]

6. I'm not driving back to town for spice cake

:D

[susanna]

15. Heh. I've got one if you *really* need it.

Of course your post just ensured it is about to get baked. Yum. :-)

7. I went with French vanilla with lemon supreme frosting but…

A lemon cream cheese frosting would be super too. :9

[Inchworm]

8. Hmm, never thought to mix frostings

or mixes for that matter.

hmm...

:hi:

[siligut]

11. Might just work!

Now that you have extra, you can experiment. :hi:

9. hmmm, cupcakes!

[Inchworm]

10. I wouldn't mind a little help in the kitchen

But I get to choose positioning ;)

:hi:

12. Other-homemade

Google some recipes for simple cupcakes. They don't take any more work, they are cheaper to make (unless you never plan to bake again and don't keep these basic ingredients in your home) and they taste loads and loads better. Plus you get all the props and braggin' rights for doing it from scratch. :hi:

[Inchworm]

13. I plan to do those next

I ain't usually nervous in the kitchen and can actually cook. I'm like a mad scientist though.

These are going to be ate at a fundraiser Saturday, so I need a control group to base my experiments on. (wow, I had a hard time with tenses on that sentence lol)

I can make biscuits, pie crusts and such. I actually just buy canned biscuits for normal use though unless I'm going for "braggin' rights." :D

14. Chocolate fudge with vanilla icing.

[Inchworm]

16. I'm not going back to town for vanilla icing!

:rofl:

[redqueen]

17. Normally I'd say dark chocolate with chocolate icing...

but for some reason today I chose dark chocolate with the cream cheese icing.

Hm.

[Inchworm]

19. That may be the "baker effect"

Pushed the polls to tied :rofl:

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

18. i like any of those except for that chocolate and lemon deal.

don't get me wrong if that's what you brought i'd eat it.

[Inchworm]

20. I'm happy it didn't get more votes

I was just doing different combinations of the 3 mixes and 3 frostings I bought.

:D

[BarenakedLady]

21. I broke the tie.

I went with chocolate/cream cheese. Yum.

Get to it!

[Inchworm]

22. I'm stalled

I can't find the 409!

And I had to fill the bird feeders...

and my puppy needed her beldy rubbed...

and...

and...

:rofl:

[BarenakedLady]

23. You don't need 409 for making cupcakes.

Stop procrastinating!

[Inchworm]

25. I was looking for it

and found my cheese slicer!

Are those cobwebs where the wall meets the ceiling?

Dang, where's the broom.

:silly:

24. Skip the Duncan Hines, go to Lyndell's Bakery

On Broadway in Somerville, MA, just up the street from the Tufts campus. Best damn cupcakes and eclairs you'll ever find!

[Inchworm]

26. That's my fallback - storebought

I really don't think I can mess up cupcakes that bad though. Well, sober...

:)

28. Which cupcakes are best?

That's a trick question. The correct answer is of course, "The ones in front of me."
