Cupcake Adventures

So we watched the Biggest Loser this week and Curtis Stone made these raspberry cupcakes that were low-calorie and looked pretty tasty so we thought we’d try them. We got the recipe online and all the ingredients and we made them.

They were disgusting. Mike and I took one bite and threw them away. The frosting was pretty much straight cream cheese and the cake was the blandest thing ever. So…
We decided to heck with the low-calorie cupcakes. We’ll just make regular ones. We did go to the store and buy a mini cupcake tin and some mini liners so that they’d be smaller and therefore better for us (that is how it works, right?). We looked through all sorts of recipes and decided on a vanilla, vanilla base with strawberry frosting.

They taste AWESOME. They look a lot better than the first batch and they taste about 100 times better.
So if Mike and I look like we are fat enough to roll next time you see us, you’ll know why.
