Pamela H in Texas Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Title says it all. We made cupcakes (gluten free, btw) today. They were yummy. AND we gave the babies each half of one! Just had to do it. JFYI, our religion doesn't prevent the eating of cupcakes :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 My kids would love it if I made cupcakes but I'm too lazy. They had big iced donuts though -does that count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Recipe? Diva made me a gf birthday cake, so having that. It's dense and dry (not her fault, I find it's pretty typical of gf stuff) so I'm contemplating smearing Nutella where the pb icing doesn't cover...

Acorn Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Dh and the kids made a bday cake for me. I could feel entitled and eat the entire thing as a big cupcake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBasil Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No. :glare: I'm on a diet.

What about those of us who can't eat sugar? :glare: I'll live with the pain of knowing you ate cupcakes and I couldn't. Way to rub your "OOOO!

AdventureMoms Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I'm on a diet too. I did not eat a cupcake. However, I did eat a peanut butter cup s'more. Which is in no way healthy or low carb. It made up 2/3 of my carb intake today, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Today I ate a red velvet cupcake. It was not cruel, but it was a bit dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandylubug Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 cupcakes are of the devil.........well, so my nutritional plan tells me... had pineapple sheet cake within the last week though.. that is close enought to cupcake evil :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrookValley. Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Yes! I was in DC today, so I *had* to stop by Sticky Fingers vegan bakery (if you've ever watched Cupcake Wars, they've been contestants--and won--twice). I came home with half a dozen. :tongue_smilie: My husband had a lemon lavender, the kiddo had a strawberry, and I had a gluten-free mocha cupcake. They were awesome...and I plan to have another tomorrow. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaceful Isle Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I have to eat gluten free cupcakes, and I haven't mastered the art of baking a yummy one yet.

AngieW in Texas Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No, but I did make 4 varieties of ice cream. We won't be able to taste them until tomorrow because they need to be in the freezer for at least 8 hours and I didn't get them in there until around 6pm. I've never tried this before, but I found a recipe that didn't require an ice cream machine, just a mixer (and a blender if you want to make a fruit variety).

Just Kate Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I did!!! However, it was my dd's bday party day. I used my family's Texas Sheet Cake recipe and made cupcakes with it (never had done this before). I also made chocolate buttercream frosting and swirled it (thickly) on top. According to my 12 year old niece, WAY better than the normal sheet cake. Yum...they were good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besroma Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No, but I wanted to! We had already made chocolate chip cookies before the kerfluffle. I just ate another one. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 No. I've been frantically cleaning my house this weekend while our German exchange student is staying at BIL's house with my niece and nephew. No time to make any GF cupcakes, but maybe I will later. Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
