You *must* check out the Bakerella blog!

While I was looking for instructions on cutting cake made with the humung-o Wilton Cupcake Pan, I stumbled upon a fabulous blog for baking! While I won't place a picture of the cutest bake goods you'll ever see (because I think she might get mad at me for it, I have to say that you MUST, MUST, MUST see the cupcake on a stick recipe! Think cake dipped in chocolate..mmmmm. They are sooo cute and would be perfect to give as VT'ing gifts or for any other occasion! Looks like she got the idea from Martha Stewart, but she, herself, shows the step by step instructions. I think I'm in love with Bakerella's blog!

Oh, by the way...if you are trying to figure out how to serve a giant cupcake, then here is the link to the instructions for cutting the beast. I've heard it's not as big and intimidating as it looks, but I still really want this pan!

Pumpkin Muffin Recipe

It's recipe time!
This recipe couldn't be any easier. They call them muffins, but I tend to think they are more like a cupcake. They are great for fall or any 'ol time!



Pumpkin Cake Mix Muffins

1 box of cake mix, spice flavor
15 oz. can of pumpkin (100% pure, not pie mix)
1/2 cup water

Bake at 350 for 20 min.

If you would like to count Weight Watcher points: Bake 24 muffins at 2 pts. each.




This is a photo of another version using chocolate cake mix instead of spice. It's really more for those who would rather not taste the pumpkin (ie...Leanne!)These will in no way taste like pumpkin. Just substitute the spice cake mix for a chocolate one. Weight Watcher points are the same.



You can also make the same recipe using only 1 can of diet sprite or any other flavor pop in place of the pumpkin. The 1/2 c. water will NOT be needed. You can then play around with different cake mix flavors and pop flavors. Leanne likes Rootbeer with chocolate cake mix, but I bet orange pop with white cake mix would be a treat too. Mmm.
