What a handsome cupcake tester.

I made those for my children, but haven't for my grandson's yet. Thanks for the reminder.

Oh, my gosh, Candy...your t'scape made me SMILE big-time & I am hearing Chubby Checker's "Let Twist Again" this morning! What a fun table! Your imagination ran wild in this one, lady! My first thought was, WOW! the napkins are sundaes! & so sweet with a cherry on top! Love the pink t'cloth, too & the layered white in the center. Those waffle cone plates are a steal $$$ & I love the choices of colors & textures in the stacked place settings. And the HOT PINK flatware & glasses....ooo, la, laa! And what an original centerpc! Just so darn cute w/the little jukebox's, record, soda glass, EVERYTHING! Oh, girl, you got me doing the 'twist' this morning! Thanks! Jeanne S.

I hadn't ran across that first one, but I absolutely drooled the first time I saw the painted cupcakes, ice cream cones, and teapots/teacups the 2nd lady does. She really has a nice touch for making them look extra special. I love painting the roses and that shabby chic look, but only a little of it fits in my decor at home. I do want to follow her lead and try my hand at painting some of the food items for gifts. Wouldn't they be darling on a kitchen tree of some kind? You are right, this type of painting does seem to still have a following, and some of the Prim style items do also. Thanks for sharing those links. Oh, and since I know you love cupcakes, have you seen these yet? Love them too! Here is a link that might be useful: Felted wool cupcakes

RECIPE: What's your best improvement to boxed cake mix?
Q
Comments (34)
If I'm making the basic cake (white, yellow, chocolate, etc.) I always sift the powder mix first. I use applesauce instead of oil and I always add vanilla no matter what flavor cake I'm making. If I use the whole egg (I usually use the whites only), I beat the whites separately from the yolk before adding anything else. I've been told that my cakes have the texture of wedding cakes. Now as for variations I have added peanut butter and chocolate (a personal favorite) to a white cake, sour cream to a chocolate cake, strawberries to a white cake (omit water) and I am currently making pumpkin bars from a spice cake mix (which led me to your site because I was looking for a way to turn a white cake into a spice cake so I can double it). Use four eggs instead of three, add a can of pumpkin and a quarter of a cup of applesauce (or oil if you prefer), omit water. Bake as directed on the box.

Microphone cupcake question
Q

I hate those ball things. They're like biting into rocks. I vote sprinkles! For the cones, I think I'd either make a waffle cone or more likely just go with the regular sugar cone. It's actually closer to a real microphone than a chocolate color would be. Yes there's a few black microphones often with yellow windscreens but most professional mics are that "gunmetal" color, gray-like. And for another effect, I'd go one step farther and put some black licorice whips on the cones for a mic cord.

Thanks all! Those are fun to make and delicious.

Linda, you will have to fight his girlfriend for that. They've been together since pre-school, steady for almost 5 years! I wonder if any of his future girlfriends will last that long. LOL

Thanks dedtired, islay_corbel, AM & Annie!

Mary, those are very easy and fun to make. Just use a box of cake mix. If you use the whole box it will make 24 of cupcake cones. I used about a bit more than 1/4 box for my last batch.

Prepare cake mix according to instructions. Pour batter into each flat bottomed cone to just a bit less than 2/3 full. The first time I put too much batter into the cones and they all "exploded" LOL. Bake at cupcake temperature, on a cookie sheet, for a bit longer than what the box says. If the box says 20 minutes, I would go at least a couple of minutes longer. Mine took 25 minutes before the long skewer came out clean. Once the cupcakes are cooled, you can frost them with store bought or homemade frosting. We love sugar sprinkles and we used lots for decoration. My neighbor's 7 year old thought it was ice cream until he bit into the cake. Really funny!

I've made these, too. So cute! My only complaint is that the cake seemed to dry out from the cone. Did anyone else notice this? Or are grownups not supposed to eat them? ;)

Thanks for the idea!
