Supreme Strawberry-Licious Cupcakes
My cousin Connie who llives in New Orleans was talking on Facebook about making cupcakes this way but she didn't have a name for them so I gave them a name!
She has also mixed and matched different cake flavors and pudding mix flavors! She mentioned using the New Cool Whip Frosting and I tasted a sample of the vanilla and chocolate at the grocery store when they first came out! I really liked them and spending up to $30 on a cake for that type of icing at our local Krogers is now out of the question! Krogers called it "Whippy Dip Icing" and now you can buy the frosting for $2.49 a tub! Sounds good to me and no more ordering cakes from Krogers!The cupcakes were light and airy and DH said fluffy! Duncan Hines has a Strawberry Supreme cake mix and that is what I used! It has bits of strawberry throughout and the frosting is so creamy and whippy! Delicious!
*Note: Directions for 18.25 ounce cake mix ONLY! If box is a smaller size just up the egg amount by 1 as directed on the box and use milk in place of the amount of water called for!
