call me betty crocker.

ok, you don't have to call me that. but, i've sure felt a little like mrs.crocker (i'm just assuming she's a housewife) for the past 24 hours. why? well, it all started with one idea:

"i should make cupcakes for my institute choir class."

but not just any cupcakes. baby cupcakes. obviously this was THE best option.
so, i got to work with my devil's food cake mix. but then, it only made 35. not a huge issue ... except that there are 50 people in choir! what to do?

the only cake mix i had available in my cupboard was a spice cake (which i have only ever used for pumpkin chocolate chip cookies). would it taste okay? i had no choice.
so, i had some fun. spice cake mix...more cinnamon...added half of the oil/ half applesauce too for kicks. the result?

PERFECTION. a cupcake/muffin of sorts, topped with whipped cream cheese frosting & red sprinkles.
and guess what? they were a hit! the spice cupcakes were actually the proclaimed favorite.
here are some photos to visualize their goodness.

 [i clearly had too much fun documenting the cupcakes]

lovely!!! I will have to try that! i made homemade oreos once (note that I was in stg at the time) with all applesauce and no oil and they turned out soooo good. but then i tried them back at home in richfield and they failed. but hey.. ya never know how they'll turn out without trying huh! and if applesauce can make things healthier, moister, and tastier, i'd do anything:)
your cupcakes look delightful!
