Should I pay off on this cupcake bet (poll)?

Question by Henry Chicane: Should I pay off on this cupcake bet (poll)?
A family member and I were just watching Cupcake Wars. (yeah, I know) She asked who I thought was going to win and I picked a contestant, and she said she thought it would be one of the other ones, and asked if I wanted to bet and I agreed to a cash wager.

The show ends and she wins the bet. It then comes out that the show is a rerun and she saw the episode before and knew who would win. I say that invalidates the bet. She said since I never asked if she saw it before, and she didn’t lie about it or anything, the bet is valid and I have to pay.

We both agreed to put it to a vote on here and be bound by the results of the poll after a certain amount of time.

Best answer:

Answer by ?One Of A Kind?™
NO, BECAUSE SHE ALREADY SAW THE EPISODE.

How many cupcakes should I prepare for this event?

Question by Andrea: How many cupcakes should I prepare for this event?
At my work, there’s going to be an awards ceremony for about 100 people, most of whom are children. I’d like to bring cupcakes, but I don’t know how many to make. There are going to be other desserts besides mine (like cakes and brownies), and I’d like to see what you think is a good number of regular-sized cupcakes for me to add to the dessert table.

Thank you!

For a Lighter Vanilla Cake That Doesn’t Taste Light, Make This Lite Vanilla Cake

For a Lighter Vanilla Cake That Doesn’t Taste Light, Make This Lite Vanilla Cake

Love desserts but don’t want to consume so much fat and sugar? Then we have the recipe for you! This two layer Vanilla Cake is lightened but doesn’t lose any of the taste! No one will ever know you are serving a “lite” cake unless you tell them!  Replacing butter with sugar-free applesauce and whole eggs with egg whites makes the difference.  But the difference is taste is so small you won’t even notice.  This makes a great cake for birthdays and other special occasions.  Also great for cupcakes.

LITE VANILLA CAKE
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar*
4 egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups cake flour, sifted
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with flour; set aside.

In a large mixer bowl cream the shortening and sugar until crumbly, approximately 2 minutes. Add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the applesauce and the vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, combine the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add flour mixture to the batter alternately with the buttermilk until well combined. Pour the batter evenly into the two prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to finish cooling completely.

FROSTING:

3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 tbsp light corn syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
dash of salt
2 to 3 tbsp lowfat milk

Beat the powdered sugar, butter or margarine, corn syrup, vanilla and salt together adding enough milk to reach spreading consistency.

Place one layer on cake plate. Spread frosting over the top, add the second layer. Frost top and sides of cake.

*You can reduce the sugar further by using Splenda Sugar Blend.

Enjoy!

Make Christmas Tree Cupcakes This Year

Make Christmas Tree Cupcakes This Year

Chirstmas is coming soon,have you ever prepared your Christmas cupcakes well?Why not charm everyone with these pretty little cupcakes with little Christmas trees sitting atop them? You will be surprised at how easy it is to make them and how fast you can whip up batches to feed a crowd! Whipped cream and one single icing tip is all you need to make these.

What You Will Need:

• Cupcakes, any flavor

• Sweetened Whipped Cream

• Green Food Coloring

• Chopped candied fruit, red

Equipment Need:

• Icing Bag

• Open Star Icing Tip

How To:

1. Whip whipping cream till stiff peaks form.

2. Reserve some plain white icing for the floret border and add a tiny drop of green food color to the rest.

3. Mix the color into the cream very lightly to get a marbled effect.

4. Spread this icing on each cupcake with an icing knife or spatula.

Making the Trees

1. Mix in green food coloring to the remaining icing to make the trees.
2. Fit an icing bag with an open star tip (No. 17 or 18) and fill the bag with the green whipped cream.
3. To start making the trees, pipe out cream in center of the cupcake and bring outwards. For the first few lines, bulge out the icing in the center and then bring out. This will give the base of the tree some height for the other ‘branches’ to stand.

Floret Border:

With the same icing tip and plain white whipping cream, make little florets all around the edge of the cupcake.

Pipe out cream and press slightly on the same place to form a little floret. Make florets close to each other all around the rim.

Decorations:

1. Sort out red colored candied fruit from a mixed pack or use dried red berries.

2. Chop them up and puck into the trees to make tree decorations.

Tips:

Whether preparing for your family or for a party, assembly line is the best way to get these done quick and well. Spread cream icing on all cupcakes first and then make trees on all of them.

Try making the trees and florets on a plate first. Once you get the hang of it, start making them on the cupcakes.

Diet Cupcakes: Losing Weight Can Be This Sweet

More often than not, every time a person goes on a diet to lose weight, one of the first things to go out of the window are sweets. Yes, cakes, cupcakes, chocolates, cookies, brownies, muffins, and all that is divinely saccharine are branded as forbidden food during the weight loss period. However, depriving one’s self of such delectable pleasures will only add fuel to one’s sweet cravings once the diet is off leading to a vicious diet cycle and a yoyo weight. So how do we lose weight and get to eat our sweets, or in this case, cupcakes, too? Here’s a simple recipe for cupcakes that can very well fit into a weight loss regimen and still taste quite delicious.

Diet Soda Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 egg white 1 can diet soda (preferably a Diet Coke)

Steps:

1) Preheat the oven according to chocolate cake mix directions. Place cupcake liners on the cupcake pan.

2) In a bowl and using an electric mixer with the paddle attached, beat the chocolate cake mix, egg white, and diet soda until smooth in consistency.

3) Pour the cupcake batter into prepared cupcake pans with liners.

4) Bake cupcakes according to chocolate cake mix instructions. Cupcakes are done when you insert a toothpick into the cupcake and it comes out clean.

Variation: If you want your diet cupcakes to be of the vanilla kind or of non-chocolate origin, substitute the chocolate cake mix for white or yellow cake mix and the diet soda for a clear diet one. These diet cupcakes basically have 120 calories or less per piece depending on the cake mix you are using. With such low calorie count for a dessert, these cupcakes are definitely good for weight loss watchers who still want to maintain some normalcy in their diet. Remember, with innovative recipes like these, you can lose weight and still eat your cupcakes too!

Try This Halloween Spooky Cupcake At Your Party

Celebrating Halloween is never the same without spooky cupcakes. Whether trick-or-treating or bonding with family and friends, these tasty delights are great to serve for the Halloween. Make and decorate your individual cupcake or buy it ready-made at your favorite pastry shop.

Cupcake decoration requires less effort, allowing you to be creative with it, like whipping up your delicious own icing. Admit it; a cupcake isn’t just the same without icing. It makes your cupcake more palatable and adds an extra burst of flavor to any ordinary cupcake. If you’re thinking making your homemade icing will be a tough task, think again.

In fact, you don’t have to be a pro to create your own cupcake icing. With a little imagination and passion for coming up with tasty delights, even a kid can make frosting in a breeze. If you’re interested to know how you are able to do this, read on.

The following items are needed to prepare your own cupcake icing:

4 tbsp butter, softened

5 cups powdered sugar, sifted

2 eggs

6tbsp cream

1 & 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

2 oz, chocolate, unsweetened and melted

Orange food coloring

Prepare cream butter. Next, gradually add sugar, leaving a portion to be used for another mixture. Blend well after every addition. This time, add remaining sugar alternately with the egg whites followed with 2 tbsps of cream. Blend until you reach the right consistency of a spread.

Then add in vanilla extract and salt. Distribute the frosting into two equal parts. Put orange coloring to one part of frosting and spread between cake layers.

If you want to make a pumpkin decoration, make sure to save about 1/4 of orange frosting. Then, for the other part, add in chocolate and 4 tbsps of cream, blending well until you reach the right consistency. When your chocolate frosting is ready, spread it on the top and sides of cake. You could also adorn the top with jack-o-lantern, which is made of orange frosting.

You may also use margarine as a substitute for butter. Also, an electric beater can help give your frosting better consistency and a really nice, soft fluff. If you don’t have an electric beater, you may use an egg beater. Make sure to blend all ingredients well to achieve your desired consistency.

Now you’re ready to give your holiday cupcake the frosting it deserves! Write words or put whatever design you like on your cupcakes! Let your creative juice flow. It’s that simple! Go and try it yourself. You won’t even have to break a sweat at it.
