April Fool's Cupcakes?

 It was time to get back in the 

kitchen and make a special treat for

Elizabeth's co workers.

We've been on a cupcake hiatus,

and haven't baked since December.

What better time to do

something clever than for April Fools.

 Last year we made our delizioso 

 Italian Spaghetti and Meatballs.

 This year we didn't want to go

with a  main dish, but instead

everyone's favorite snack food,

popcorn.

We used the Lemon Carrot cupcake recipe from

Your Cup of Cake.

 Lizzie's recipes on her blog

are all cake mix enhanced.

It starts with a white cake mix and then you

add pineapple, carrots and cinnamon.

What could be easier?

The buttercream frosting is just the basic

with some lemon zest, a splash of lemoncello, 

for both the recipe and the bakers,

and we tried a dash of lemon gelatin powder for 

extra tang.  I love how that worked.

We made popcorn.

Have you figured out what it really is?

The popcorn was made from
mini marshmallows cut in half
and then 3 pieces stuck together.

The mini yellow ones are from the
bag of spring flavors you can find now.

The co-workers had a good laugh

enjoying their

April Fool's sweet popcorn treat.

Until Next Time-
