The July box was for Movie Night Cupcakes. I needed greek yogurt, butter, and an egg on hand!
The box included vegan marshmallows, the cupcake mix, the frosting mix, super cute cupcake liners, and yellow sprinkles.
First, I added the butter and greek yogurt to the bowl to cream together, then added the egg, and then added the cupcake mix. It came together quickly. I used my cookie scoop to fill the cupcake liners, and then placed them on a baking sheet to place in the oven.
My cupcakes fell when they came out of the oven, but it was my fault - I didn't check them when I pulled them out to ensure that they were fully baked through in the 18 minutes the recipe recommended. Since oven temperatures always vary and cook at different rates, it's always a good idea to insert a toothpick to see if they're done all the way through!
Because of this, and the fact that the marshmallows were melted together into an inseparable mess, I deviated from the recipe a bit here. Instead of mixing the marshmallows into the frosting, I filled the sunken part of my cupcakes with the frosting (which I made with the frosting mix, butter, and greek yogurt), then added the marshmallows on top, and then the sprinkles. I think they came out pretty cute for a few errors along the way!
Verdict: This was a fun project, and the cupcakes tasted pretty good. I have a hunch that they use the same mix pretty much for all of their cakes/cupcakes/etc. because they all taste similar. I'm still not a huge fan of the greek yogurt in the frosting, but it's becoming more palatable for me.
I still think the value for these boxes is low - $20 for six cupcakes is insanely high for homemade cupcakes. That's $3.33 per cupcake! Outside of that, these are always a fun project, and would be really fun to complete with kids learning how to bake!
