Blueberry Blue Velvet Cupcakes

Hello friends, and Happy Fri-Yay!

You guys know that I have been on this baking kick lately but I definitely need to scale back before the bathroom scale steps forward too much!  The problem seems to be there are so many new cake mixes on the market and those pretty colors just seems to draw me in – lol

Just take a look at these amazing Blue Velvet Cupcakes and tell me that they don’t draw you in!

It’s was also due to the fact that hubby was fasting for Ramadan so I liked to have something a little extra sweet for him to eat after his evening meal.

The recipe was easy, only calling for butter and eggs but the batter was thicker than regular cake batter.  This was probably due to the fact that were more calories…I never check so it didn’t matter anyway.

After they cooled I frosted and then topped them with a fresh blueberries and sprinkles  – another Duncan Hines dessert winner!

Red White & Blueberry Dessert


Hello friends, I hope all is well in your world.

Last week I stopped at Shoprite to pick up a few items for dinner and they had a sale on their pudding cakes, all flavors for $1.99.  There were so many choices but I settled on Blueberry.

I made it a little more delicious by grilling it in butter and adding Reddi Wip cream and strawberries.  Hey, if you are going to eat dessert, you might as well make it good!

Red White and Blueberry Dessert

Melt two pats of butter in a pan, add a few slices of cake and let it warm on low heat for 3-5 minutes.

I wanted the grill marks so I used this pan, and am sure it would be just as good on an outdoor grill or in a George Forman Grill.

grill for 3-5 mins

Top with Reddi Wip cream and a few slices of strawberries, but if you want a few more calories, top with ice cream!
