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.

You just can’t beat the combination of chocolate and mint- Yum!
Happy holidays!
I too love your tree.
Oh, I love your tree. It’s the perfect size, and I love the decorations.
The brownies look great. I love the KAF brownies; I just made them a few weeks ago.
Oh, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
I hope you had a very Merry Christmas! Love your gorgeous tree (and your high ceilings!). Yum, peppermint & chocolate…
I love the chocolate and mint combination. Nothing is better at this time of year!
Happy Holidays!
With love and cupcakes,
