Lemon-Honey Cupcakes Recipe at WomansDay.com- Dessert Recipes. Mrs. D Loves to Eat! Microwave Cupcake. This is a 2 minute wonder.
Another fantastic recipe for kids to do with very little help. Another of my Cheater Recipes… I am the kind who uses the microwave only for heating & defrosting. Rarely do I cook in the microwave. But this particular day, after lunch the kids proclaimed with sad faces that they wished they had some chocolate cake for dessert. UPDATE (or rather a WARNING): I have had this recipe a many times by others. I needed to update this post and it with the same things I have mentioned below and after the recipe, but I get a feeling most people do not read through the post and head straight to the recipe. Have it right away, and NOT by itself. Please read the instructions and adjust sugar, cocoa and other flavorings to your taste. Few Notes about this cake before I go to the recipe: This is not like an oven baked cake; it is far from moist & dense, but pretty hollow & spongy in texture.

The tart lemon and raspberry are a perfect combination! What a week! Thank heaven for interns! My intern James has been saving my sanity this week. In recovery mode from the bake-athon of last week.....well....I may have missed some work. Either way these were made to celebrate my past intern Mary Kate as part of the bakesale! I've said it once and I'll say it again, DC would not function without interns!

Big Red Kitchen: Rainbow Cupcakes. So when it came time for our school’s bake sale a week ago, I thought Rainbow Cupcakes would be fun for a change.
I was right, they were the first ones to go because children cannot resist color and lots of it. They even beat out the luscious chocolate cupcakes I made. It is Rainbow Cupcakes from now on! This is simple to do by dividing the batter equally among six small bowls- I used yellow cake mix for deeper hues. Color each bowl of batter a different color. Layer colored batter in the order of a rainbow’s colors into cupcake liners and bake according to the package directions. I wanted the frosting to go in a swirl of rainbow colors too so I used a technique Ma taught me years ago from her cake decorating classes. Unfortunately I did not have jewel toned frosting colors to match the cupcakes, so I did mix jewel tones with pastels.
At the bake sale we placed each cupcake in a 9 ounce plastic punch cup and invited the children to decorate the cupcakes they had purchased.
