Cupcakes!!

I volunteered to host a bake sale at work in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. It is October and breast cancer is all the rage this time of year. So for a good cause, as you know baking is not my thing, I put on my best game face and took a challenge. With the help of the box mix I was successful! Remember my last baking venture?

Yea... Not my best work. Well this time around I made pretty, delicious cupcakes! And I have proof.

I made all kinds of goodies for this bake sale. I baked for hours! Hard labor I know... Here's what I created!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip with Peanut Butter Frosting

Cake:

1 box chocolate cake mix

1/4 cup peanut butter chips

Make according to box directions. Spoon into paper cupcake holders and sprinkle on the peanut butter chips. Bake according to box.

Frosting:

1/2 stick of butter

4 oz cream cheese

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3-4 cups powdered sugar

splash of milk if needed to insure proper consistency 

Cream butter, cream cheese and peanut butter together. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add milk if necessary, if frosting is too thick. 

See! Pretty! 

My other creation was just a plain ol' chocolate cupcake with cream cheese frosting. I put red food coloring in the frosting to make it pink!! 

They're ta-ta-tastic cupcakes!
