I decided to give Betty Crocker’s butter pecan cake mix a whirl, and my taste testers (who of course, assume everything is from scratch — *wink*) were thrilled.
I also made a butter pecan frosting. I beat together: 2 sticks of softened butter, 3 tablespoons of vegetable shortening, about 6 cups of powdered sugar. Then, I topped the cupcakes with drizzled caramel and crushed pecans.
These cupcakes were sooo rich and buttery! Highly recommended for butter enthusiasts!
Sprinkles Cupcakes is opening a new location at The Grove in LA today! And it will be a grand opening indeed. From 10 till noon, you can meet Sprinkles founder and Cupcake Wars judge Candace Nelson.

One ticket will be for a $1000 shopping spree at The Grove, a shopping, dining, and entertainment center in a 1900s themed setting. Two tickets will be for $500 shopping sprees at The Grove. And two will be for a “year of Sprinkles cupcakes” — a dozen cupcakes per month. This new Sprinkles opens at 10, so hurry. You’d better go get in line.

I was hankering for some invigorating mint! So, I baked some dark chocolate cupcakes. Then, I used Wilton’s buttercream frosting recipe and added some mint extract. Then I topped with chocolate chips and a sprig of mint! Hankering satisfied! Friends told me it tasted like a peppermint patty.
