WFMW- The Perfect Cupcake (using a mix)

Look at these amazing cupcakes Sunshine and I made over the weekend!

They taste EVERY bit as good as they look - maybe even more!

What's "so different" about these cupcakes you ask?

Did I make them from scratch?

NOOOO!

Then why do they TASTE like I made them from scratch?

Well, that little secret is what I'm going to share for this week's

Works for Me Wednesday!

Thanks to my FAB bloggy buddy, Saucy,

{click here to see her blog}

or QUEEN of CUPCAKES, as I like to call her! LOL

Saucy has shared with her readers how to use a box cake mix, but make them taste like homemade from scratch out of this world fabulous!

Do I have your attention NOW?

Look at this beauty! Can't you just TASTE all of it's deliciousness? {sigh}

So what's the secret you say?

Saucy says..........

You will need

1 box mix (any flavor) - but get the good kind, Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker

3 Large Eggs

1/2 cup butter or margarine ( I used butter, I'm SURE it's better - I'm just sayin)

1 cup of water

Then what are you going to do next?

Melt the butter in the microwave.

Then dump all ingredients in your bowl.

Mix on low for 1 min. Then mix on high for 1 min.

You will be amazed that your batter is nice and thick and creamy - not thin and runny like it is when you follow the box instructions.

Fill cupcake papers - Saucy does what I do - she uses an icecream scooper! - One scoop is just the right amount per cupcake!

Pop them in the oven on 350 for 20 minutes.

Let cool.

Then you can frost them with a delicious Buttercream Frosting!!
