Cupcakes – No Recipe Needed

The GF market has really come a long way in the last 15+ years.  These cupcakes were made out of a box and put together in minutes – they’re a great alternative to baking from scratch when you have several other dishes to prepare.  I made this batch for a cookout celebrating my Mother-In-Law’s birthday and there were not many leftover.

• Box of GF yellow cake (I like King Arthur and Betty Crocker)
• Ingredients needed for cake – see notes below on milk substitutes
• Can of organic frosting (I use Simple Mills brand)
• Package of GF sandwich cookies (I use Kinnikinnick brand)

Note:  I never use regular milk but have found several options for the King Arthur mix:

• Champagne – gives a very light and fluffy texture, I always use this for brunch, wedding showers, New Year’s dinner, etc
• Tequila – gives a rich boozy flavor, I always use this for Cinco de Mayo or Mexican night
• Walnut or hazelnut milk – good “regular” milk substitute and the Elmhurst brand does not have any gums, or emulsifiers like most coconut or almond milks – just 2 ingredients: nuts and water

Cheers and God Bless!
