Every year The Blu Man creates a cake for his Day of Birth Celebratories.
He shares a birthday with Dr. Seuss, yes, yes he does,
so usually for his class, we would make
White cake cupcakes with Blue Colored Vanilla Frosting.
{You know, Thing 1 & Thing 2}
This year he wanted
half White cake and Half Chocolate
with Orange Frosting.
half White cake and Half Chocolate
with Orange Frosting.
He was elated.
I wasn't.
All I could think was that no one would eat them.
How wrong I was.
Growing up, and occasionally still,
I will find the Orange flavored canned frosting.
I like it. I always have.
Of course when I went shopping,
they didn't.have it in stock,
BUT~
they did have this awesome new stuff!
Duncan Hines has a new line called the Frostings Creations
and I am just SuperKala over this.
They hawk a "frosting starter"
which is just Vanilla/White Frosting
then you've got Heaven to choose from.
You've got to check out these Flavors!
Make your cupcakes....
Using a Devils Food cake mix,
and a White cake mix,
Make the CupCakes per instructions on box.
I used the Egg White recipe for the White Cake.
Fill CupCake PaPers with a little less than half
of one flavor, and then top off with other flavor.
Bake and CooL completely.
Ready to Frost?
Just mix 1 packet to 1 can
and instantly jazz up any flavor cake.
We were making a lot of Cupcakes, so we used 4 boxes of cake mix.
I used 2 cans of the Frosting with the 2 packets
and honestly, next time, I would add a 3rd
for more flavor kick.
Only decide this AFTER doing the 1:1.
{flavors like Raspberry can get overwhelming pretty quick}
We used the Orange Creme.
Apparently,
The Classmates couldn't either.
This is the first time EvEr,
not only did EvEry kid take a cupcake,
EvEry one oohed, aahed, and ate it
while simultaneously saying how good it was.
EvEry bite, and cupcake.
well done, Blu!
I can't wait to go grocery shopping next week
and pick up a couple more of these
most especially the:
* Chocolate Marshmallow
*White Chocolate Raspberry
Maybe Chocolate Marshmallow on a Red Velvet cake or German Chocolate
and a Chocolate Fudge cake withe the White Chocolate Raspberry.
excuse Me, while I go crank up Le Oooh~ven!
