Fun With Food
BY JOANNA STELLOH PHELPS
Devil’s Food Cupcakes
When I want a sweet treat, I usual- ly crave a cupcake. Just one or two will do the trick so we never get through 24 that a normal cake mix makes. You can still bake a full batch
and share with friends or freeze unfrosted cupcakes in a tightly sealed tin or plastic bag for future use. You never know when company may drop by or you get a craving.
Devil’s Food Cupcakes
(with two frosting options)
Ingredients: One 15.25 oz. box Devil’s Food Cake Mix (I like Duncan Hines) or your favorite flavor ingredients according to package.
Instructions: Bake cupcakes according to directions on the package. Let cool com- pletely before frosting or freezing left over unfrosted cupcakes.
Caramel Frosting

• 1 cup softened butter
• 2 cups packed brown sugar
• 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream

Increase heat and bring to a boil, cooking for about two minutes stirring constantly. Stir in salt and remove from heat. Cool completely. In large bowl, combine cara- mel mixture and powdered sugar and beat until smooth; frost cooled cupcakes.
