Copious Cupcakes

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... I can't cook. The Husband argues with me and insists it's because I don't try. It's in me, I just won't let it come out.

Well I let it all out last night. With disastrous results.

My mom passed an idiot-proof recipe on to my cousin Alex who passed it on to me.
  1. One box of cake mix, made according to box instructions.
  2. Add one box of Jello powder. Mix and bake as cupcakes.

Sounds easy right? Apparently not. It may be idiot proof, but it's not Mo-proof.

First, I made the cupcakes with what I thought was vegetable oil, but was really Canola oil. Then I overfilled the cups so I had exploding cupcakes in my oven.

The Husband, God bless him, swears they don't taste as bad as they look.
