This is my first food post and it's going to be about how I failed at making cupcakes. Great.....I hope ya'll (like my Texas accent?) don't get the impression that I can't cook because I can. Like I said before my niece and nephew is staying with me for a week in the summer, so I thought it would be fun to make cupcakes with/for them. They wanted chocolate cupcakes, so I pulled up the Hostess Cupcake recipe (w/ pictures) to show them and they screamed "YES, THAT ONE!" This is the recipe I kind of followed to make these Hostess Cupcakes - Brown Eyed Baker. In the end, the cupcakes still tasted very good, so all was not lost.
All the recipes for the Hostess Cupcakes used chocolate cake made from scratch and I wasn't about to do that, so I replaced with a box of chocolate cake mix. First, I made the cupcake from the directions on the box (easy peasy) and preheated the oven.
