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.
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.

Wow these look awesome! I love how juicy the pork looks and I love the crunchy breading…yum!
I was looking for a new pork chop recipe to make when my mother in law is up this week. This looks perfect! Thanks!!
Thanks for recipe. Tried it and it was good. I used Reggiano and added a bit more than suggested but you can rarely go wrong with a little extra cheese. I’ll have to share my pork roast recipe.
These look awesome, my finace loves pork chops so I will definitely be giving these a try!
I made these last night for company…following your recipe using the panko crumbs and double dipping…and OMG – they were wonderful!!! I want to do them with chicken next time…thank you – you made me a star!!!
Chicken would be great!
