I consider myself to be a beginner in so many areas;
I am.....a first time mom
I am... an infant @ crafting
I am....a plain Jane @ cooking & baking ( I can cook the basics but I'm no Rachel Ray at all!)
(I could really go on here!)
this one is as simple of a "recipe" that tastes sooooooo good! All you need it a box of CAKE MIX & a diet soda (I used sprite zero) ...THAT IS IT. You do not need vegetable oil or eggs to make them. You can even go healthier {can you even use that word when referring to cupcakes? :-) } and use lemon cake mix and just sprinkle with powdered sugar. yum!
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 (as the box directs)
Stir Cake Mix & Sprite Zero together (it will fizz, ALOT)
Put in cupcake liners using a ice cream scoop..and walaaa!

my aunt Vickie made these last Thanksgiving and i STILL remember how good they were :-) (Thanks aunt Vickie!)
Frosting them: a tip for a 'poor mans' way of frosting. Take a zip lock baggie and cut a small hole in the corner of the bag to have the frosting come out there ...in a nice, clean manner. then, once your done throw it away. easy peesy. unfortunately i didn't think of this brilliant idea til my last cupcake. figures. :-) turned out pretty good too.
Got any Easter plans? I really hope you have a wonderful weekend and will really reflect on the real reason for Easter.
"The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.'"
Matthew 28:5-6a (NIV)
Our Easter Plans: We are so blessed and get to see BOTH sides of the family this weekend including Ryan's grandparents who have been in Arizona all winter...to say the least I think Grandma Janice is anxiously awaiting to see her little great grandson :-) Safe travels to you all and happy Easter--HE HAS RISEN.

Fleur De Bee,

Ooooh, I never heard of doing that before. What a cool idea! I will definitely do this. Thanks!
I definitely want to try this! Thanks for the tip.
That sounds so good, I'll have to try it. Thanks for the recipe!

Yum! Thanks for sharing! I am having my first linky party tomorrow (Tuesday) if you'd like to stop by and link-up: www.craftedition.blogspot.com
Oh this looks yummy and so very easy. Gonna try the recipe this week--thanks!!
Perfect for someone like my son who is allergic to eggs! I used the same recipe for his 1st b-day and they came out pretty tasty! :)
Isn't this great?? I made something like this a few years back when I was on Weight Watchers, using angel food cake and diet cream soda. It stole the show on Easter, even over my cousin's famous brownies!
Glad to have found you @ The Girl Creative!
Add two egg whites and it makes the cake lighter in texture. If you like pumpkin pie, take a box of carrot cake or spice cake and add a can of pumpkin puree. Bake according to package. Yum-O

What a crazy, fun idea! Who would have thought? I'm excited to try it. Thanks for sharing such a fun tip!
I've always made these with Diet Coke and Chocolate Cake Mix - I'll have to try your version soon! I top mine with fat-free cool whip - makes a great low-cal treat!
I HAVE to try these. My son is allergic to eggs too. WOW. I am so glad you shared this sweetheart!
Hot dog! I am going to have to try this. what a neat trick! I found you on mclinky from tip junkie. :)
This is THE ONLY way we make cakes at our house. My daughter has so many allergies, so your way is the way she can have cake. I was so excited when I found a way to make her a cake!
Her favorite is white cake mix with orange or peach drinks!
do you have to use diet soda? this sounds really interesting....and simple!
As often as I bake, I still have never tried the "soda" cakes- they look fantastic!
Thanks for linking up with Talented Tuesday!
Found you from BCD. This looks like a fun treat and easy for the kids to help make, too.
Thanks for sharing!
i think I could actually do this!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! I cant cook, but I can paint. Stop by my painting blog sometime!
Blessings, Jennifer
That looks good and easy. I want to try it! Thanks for sharing at 'Look at me, I'm SO Crafty!' at Fun to Craft.
