Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes!!!

They're so easy! I'm a lazy baker so I use mixes. I used the strawberry cake mix and then poured it into a bunch of ice cream cones. I used a muffin pan to hold up the cones but when I checked them near the end, some of them did tip. It wasn't a big deal because they were pretty much done except a tad in the center.

After I let them cool, I put on the frosting and sprinkles! They were so cute. I ate way to many of them.

As for baking them, they do take just a bit longer than what was suggested for cupcake cook times. I filled them each about 2/3 of the way up and probably could have put just a bit more in so they had more fluff on top.

Mr. Muddy said they were just a bit too sugary but Teen Muddy and I ate like there was no tomorrow :). We will definitely be making these again!

Pineapple Angel Food Shortcake Take 2

I did it again :). But this time I made it better. I used an extra can of crushed pineapple and a bit of sugar and blended it up. Used it to top the pineapple angel food cake.

So here's how it goes:

Mix one box of angel food cake with a can of crushed pineapple. Nothing else. Then pour it in a pan and bake as the box says to for regular angelfood cake.

Then for the topping, quarter cup sugar and a can of crushed pineapple in the blender.

And maybe a dab of whipped cream :).

The pineapple angel food cake was good, but could be a little less dry so I decided, why not do something like strawberry shortcake but with pineapples? It was amazing and so much better than the cake by itself.

Pineapple Angel Food Cake!

I'm sure just about everyone has seen this recipe on Facebook or Pinterest or some other place on the web, but I made it this past weekend!!!

Was it amazing? Well, I can't say I love it as much as I love spice cake, but it was good.

How it works, buy a box of any brand angel food cake as long as it only has one bag of mix in it. Not the one that you have to mix two bags of dry together. Then take a can of any brand 20 oz crushed pineapple.

I got the Dole brand only because it has an easy open top.

Heat oven to whatever temp it says on the cake mix box.

Put the mix and the pineapple- do not drain the pineapple- into a bowl and mix it together.

I like to spray my pans with bakers joy, but I wont make you. Do what you like there. I however can not be held accountable if your cake sticks to the pan.

Put the mix in the pan and bake for as long as it says to bake for the cake mix on the box. I like my angel food cake a little on the lighter side so I took it out a couple minutes early and the toothpick came out clean.

Then to top your cake, I see lots of people using whipped cream or such things. That's what I did THIS time.

Next time, I'm buying a second can of crushed pineapple and adding some sugar to it, blend it up into a puree, and then I'm going to serve it like strawberry shortcake... okay, I guess it would be pineapple shortcake :).

This is the dessert I'm serving at Christmas after the main dish of sweet'n'sour pineapple chicken.

Enjoy!!
