You may think that due to my second post I am a master chef. That I am a shoe-in for the next season of Top Chef or Hell's Kitchen. Maybe since it's a cupcake day I should be on Cupcake Wars sharing my abilities and culinary fabulousness with the world! Truth is I have actually messed up a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese! I mean really, Mac-n-cheese? Yeah, it happened and yes I still feel shame over it. But I wanted the girls to come home to something special today. I thought it would make them smile to see my 'famous' Betty Crocker cupcakes waiting for them, sprinkled in green for their school colors! (ok well green cause it's the only color sprinkles I have but the first sounded better...right). And in all reality I was having a sweet tooth meltdown. I didn't buy any sweet snacks this grocery trip, and while Grandma always said not to eat the batter, I figured I didn't listen to her than, so why start now.
So the recipe ( not the box, that just cheapens my experience) said it would make 24. It made 20. I must have ate 4 whole raw cupcakes! It was worth it though to hear, "awww, thanks Mom. This is the best day ever!" from a certain little blonde who's face was now covered in triple chocolate fudge frosting!
