so i cheated.

well, for the passed weeks, i try to bake cupcakes from scratch. "google-ing" is slowly becoming a habit in search for recipes that i can (maybe) use someday.

in the last couple of days, i've been contemplating on making blueberry cupcakes. unfortunately, finding fresh blueberries pose as a challenge. so i thought, bye bye blueberry cupcakes.

and then i decided to just make cookies instead. so off i went to the grocery. as i was getting stuff i need, i walked pass the baking necessities and saw this Betty Crocker Blueberry muffin mix.

since i was so desperate to cook (and eat) blueberry cupcakes, i grabbed a pack and placed in it the shopping basket. i thought, this should do.

when i got home, i immediately fixed everything i bought, had some lunch then rested. after a couple of hours, i'm in front of the cupboard to get the mixing bowl. then i grabbed the package, read the label and then opened it. i poured the contents in the bowl and mixed it with half a cup of water, then, VOILA! my cupcake batter is done.

so to the oven it went and waited for some 15-20 minutes for it to be done. and here they are:

they tasted yummy. only thing though is that they were artificial blueberries. but what can i do, that's all i can have here.

so i cheated. instead of learning the basics for this recipe, i shifted to instant mixes. well, i had to give in to craving sometimes, and that's the price i pay for it. there's always next time though. and oh, i'm making double chocolate cupcakes this week, so, i guess i'm still on track.
