Sans Oeuf
I just finished making two dozen cupcakes (from a box mix) to take with me on my triumphant return to the workforce tomorrow. Baking is not my forte, but how wrong can you go with mix, one cup water, half a cup of oil and three eggs?
The cupcakes came out really nice looking, and held up well when I iced them. For some reason, when I apply icing to cakey things the top tends to crumble up a bit, mixing crumbs into the icing. Not this time, though.
I put all the cupcakes into my cupcake carrier, washed all the pans, bowls, spatulas and beaters and put everything back where it belongs. As I returned to the pans to the cabinet I noticed three intact eggs still sitting on the counter.
I don’t know whether to trash the cupcakes or just add more icing to the top.
Tell everyone they are Vegan or Vegetarian cupcakes.
AllieMom was right. Label them vegan and everyone will oooh and aaah. It’s too late for any real advice, but cake mixes are pretty fool-proof. I doubt anyone would notice the egg omission.
Gosh I wish I’d been notified of these posts when they happened. *sigh*
