Cupcakes...

I've been wanting to try a couple of different store bought frostings lately and finally had time to do so a few weeks ago.

I made cupcakes with a white cake mix and frosted half with the Betty Crocker Whipped Vanilla frosting and half with the Pillsbury Fluffy Vanilla Marshmallow frosting.

When I bought one of the frostings, I got these Sixlets candies free, so I used them as a decoration on the finished cupcakes. 

Here's a tip for you...I always add about 2 tsp. of almond extract to my white cake mix. It smells amazing and adds a nice flavor. 

Here's my little presentation...

All in all, they were both good, but the Pillsbury Vanilla Marshmallow was the most requested. To me, it kind of tasted like cotton candy, which I love, so it was my favorite as well. 

What about you? Do you have a favorite store bought frosting? Nothing beats homemade, but if you're pressed for time, these work beautifully.
