Today there was a bake sale at work and so yesterday afternoon I got all set up to make some cupcakes. I followed the directions exactly like it said on the box. The batter was really runny, not thick at all, so I added like two table spoons of flour to the batter. When I took them out of the oven they looked well, not like cupcakes, more like biscuits but I let them cool and decided to taste one. It was horrible! blech nasty pukey and other choice words. When my sister came over she tried one and confirmed this statement. My mother on the other hand said we were over-reacting and didn't know what good food was.
Well, I had to use them because I didn't have time to go get anything else, so I thought maybe when I put the icing on them it would be ok. I had seen and episode of 30 minute meals on the food network where Rachael Ray was having a block party and made these fantastic cupcakes with fluffy icing made from powdered sugar. So I thought yeah I can do that, and I searched that website up and down but didn't find a thing about that episode but I did find a recipe on the sugar box so I used it, but my icing was not fluffy, it was runny, again, and not pretty at all. I used it anyway cause it was all I had.
I took them to work but told them not to sell them unless they were absolutely desperate. And they didn't. So now I have a cake pan full of toxic cupcakes that nobody wants.
So the moral of this long drawn out story is...well, nothing really, but I needed to share.
