Eating cupcakes will make me a DoughBoy…
The other day my roommate asked me if I wanted some cake. Seeing as how I’m a foodie and really love sweets, how could I resist. As I followed her to the kitchen expecting to show me a slice of delicious cake for my consumption, I could only imagine the disappointment that probably showed in my face when I saw her pull out a box of Pillsbury cake mix.
After all of these years, the Pillsbury dough boy is good mascot.
While I was a little disappointed that we had to bake this cake, it made me realize something I hadn’t realized before – I never baked a cake before. Ever. In my life.
With this new realization, I figured it made a good opportunity for me to capture my first cupcake and cake-baking experience for a blog post. And out of all the cakes there are to make out there, I must say that my favorites are in fact the one that we baked on this day, as well as some others I have no clue how to make, such as my friend Stefanie’s red velvet cheesecake featured in Cheesecake factories across the country, and Sweet Inspiration’s Rachel’s Cake . If you haven’t tried either of these delectable sweets, I suggest you stop reading this blog and start heading out the door to consume either one (or both if you’re a foodie like me) of these superb desserts.
Mix, mix, mixing it up!
So after mixing in the cake mix with the eggs and milk, and waiting impatiently for what seemed like an eternity for our cupcakes to finish, I was pleased to take a look in the oven and see the cake rise to it’s cloud-like fluffyness. After pulling out the cake and letting it cool off for a bit, we then proceeded to put the frosting and sprinkles on the cakes (of which I probably ate more frosting than I put on) and voila! Here it is!
These cupcakes were SO good!!
Your post brings back memories of making the Confetti cakes with my high school friends. I haven’t had any in more than 15 years, but it’s really good. Also, I noticed the bottle of hot sauce next to your mixing bowl. I have a friend who eats that stuff on anything, including sweets, so it made me laugh to see your photo! Glad you got to make your cake and eat it too!
