What flavor cupcakes were they???? I prefer plain vanilla myself, but I bet there's quite a few chocolate lovers here!!

They were chocolate, using the Betty Crocker Black Midnight Cake recipe, substituting 3/4 c butter for the 3/4 c shortening and reducing the water to 1 c. Baked ~ 15 minutes. Also, rather than dumping and mixing, used the traditional creaming method (cream butter and sugar, add eggs, sift dry ingredients together and add alternating with remaining wet ingredients). The icing was the Wilton buttercream used in the decorating classes, substituting butter for half the shortening, and reducing the water by 1 or 2 Tbs.

I'm thinking little cupcake helmets and teaching them to ride clipless so they don't bounce around so much!
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

LOL - thats so funny. Reminds me of the Jelly Bean shower I gave myself going over a bump at the wrong time. Those little beans sure can bounce high.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
