Attack of the Killer Cupcakes

These cupcakes are cute, they’re cuddly but don’t be fooled because they also kill your wallet as well as your waistline…

This drawing was done from reference. I used a couple of different pictures of cupcakes that I baked for my birthday. Because I have to eat gluten-free, I thought it would be great to make raspberry lemonade cupcakes for my birthday. I was going to top these delightful morsels with a raspberry buttercream frosting. It was going to be sheer perfection on a plate.

But alas, things never work out the way I plan them. Because I was out of town on my birthday, I was forced to grab boxed gluten-free cake mix and a tub of Duncan Hines frosting from a supermarket. So instead of raspberry lemonade perfection, we had cupcakes that tasted a bit like banana bread topped with chocolate fudge frosting. Very strange combination but they were edible. They also cost an embarrassing amount of money and leaked butter straight through the cupcake wrapper.
Healthy, I know.

But the nice thing is that I found monster candles in the baking isle when I picked up all of the ingredients. This enabled me to play with my food as if I were five. Let’s just say that I may have envisioned my cupcake as an alien invading a small town built out of paper cups and sugar packets. Don’t worry, it was captured and eaten alive while its eleven other cupcake friends looked on in horror. They had to be taught a lesson, you see. No one invades Papersugarville and lives to tell
about it.
