Cue JAWS music…
When deciding what to take for our Jimmy Buffett tailgating experience, I of course thought of making cupcakes! I made the Margarita cupcakes but also wanted something more traditional… I saw a picture of some beach and shark cupcakes and thought they were really cute and very fitting.
As usual, when I make more than 1 kind of recipe, I make one from scratch and one from a box. I made the margarita cupcakes from scratch and used the WW Diet Coke method on these babies.
Diet Coke Cupcakes – 2 WW pts
1 box cake mix – I used Devil’s Food
1 can of diet coke – any variety will do – I used Diet Dr Pepper
1 egg white (to help hold it all together)
Follow directions on box for cake or cupcakes except use only ingredients listed above.
I used store bought frosting that and dyed it blue.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Okay- I would have to taste it to believe it….
I’m sure my husband would LOVE IT with a big puffy pink heart. 🙂
wow that is certainly imaginative!! i’m not a sweet and salty fan…but i love the idea! hehee. i am just learning how to create recipes myself as well, sometimes it’s hit and sometimes it’s miss!
Trust me on this one – these are AMAZING. Do not fear the Frito Cupcake. Hubbies all around will thank you for it. Mine was mad I didn’t make a bigger batch. He is my in-house cupcake taste-tester 🙂
