So I got the sudden urge to bake today. This is rare for me as I've never baked by myself before and I don't even like turning on the oven. But I got an intense craving for lemon cake, so I hyped myself up to make cupcakes (you know, for portion control). As I don't have a hand mixer nor did I want to buy so many ingredients (like flour or sugar — you know, baking things), I bought some boxed lemon cake mix, some whipped vanilla frosting, added an entire lemon's worth of zest and juice to it, and called it a day. So what if I used a muffin pan instead so they turned out way shallower than intended? So what if the liners were just a little too big? So what if I didn't have a fancy piping bag and had to use a spatula to smear on icing instead? These ended up being the LEMON CUPCAKES OF MY DREAMS. Betty Crocker wasn't lying — these really are super moist. And I made 16 of them for a total of $4! I never need to buy cupcakes again!
