The Cupcakes Schmupcakes Post
AKA: “The Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting” post. Or the “I am a cheater post”.
Sometimes cheating can be good.
I know, I know usually nothing about cheating is good but let me explain.
I made these delicious cupcakes using a box of Duncan Heinz Devil’s Food Cake Mix.
Seriously. I’m a cheater.
I could have used my Grandmother’s Chocolate Cake recipe to make these decadent cupcakes but I did not. Or maybe I did use my Grandmother’s recipe and I just don’t want to share it. No, that’s not the case, I’m a cheater not a liar. I used a cake mix.
I did, however, make HOMEMADE frosting. Homemade frosting can make any “cake mix” cupcake taste like heaven. Especially when you make Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.
Go ahead. Try to tell me that you don’t want to buy yourself a box of Duncan Heinz cake mix and bake up some cupcakes right now. Go ahead. Try.
You know want cupcakes right now.
OK, not only am I a cheater today but apparently I’m a cupcake pusher too.
It’s alright, you can blame me for the cupcake envy you’re feeling right as well.
Just in case you want to cross over to the dark side with me, here is the recipe for…
Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting:
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 box confectioner’s sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1-2 Tbsp milk
Have a wonderful day!
Love your friend, Christie (the dirty rotten cheater)

Wow – am I hungry now! I used to bake everything from scratch…but it cuts into my paper crafting time! Boxed mixes are good….and you can use the cardboard from the box to recycle into a pretty something or other! 🙂 Have a great day Christie!
OK, I am salivating. Yum!
You are not a cheater, girl. You mixed that stuff up and put it in the oven, am I right? I put you right up there with Martha Stewart. 🙂
Dang! Make me some of those too!!
