Fast & Fancy Cupcakes

I've always wanted to try an off brand cake mix but didn't trust that they would be any good. A local grocer had an off brand on sale for .59 cents a box so I though, what the heck, try it! I purchased one marble cake. I followed the box directions for mixing. I added 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to the fudge mixture (because I always have to jack around with directions!)
I also wanted to try  one of those new frosting's in a can with the star tip nozzle. And I've been dying to try these new paper decorator strips. Maybe I should have titled this "Experiment Cupcakes"


Well, they smelled good & looked really cute, so I added a few mini chips to the top. Now they look really, really, cute!

Nothing says yummy to the eyes like a dish with doilies

And, they were delish! The cake, frosting, & cute paper cup wrappers all pass the CFC test! What's CFC? Cheep, Fast, Cute!

  2. Hi Anne-Marie,
    I got them at Michael's craft store. They were $3.99 for a pack of 18 (strange number). I had a 40% off coupon, so they were really cheep!
    I love cheep!
    Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Those cupcakes look so pretty... I love how you decorated them and the decorator strips you chose made them even more special. I bet they were scrumptious. Can't wait to see you next Saturday!
