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.

YUM! It looks so perfect and smooth!
Oh my! This looks wonderful!!! We’ll defiantly be making some this weekend.
You should! It literally takes 4 minutes.

I am working on some treat baskets for the neighbors and was looking for a third item, and this is perfect.
Glad to help Chad 🙂 Hope your neighbors enjoy the goodies.
