Cue JAWS music…
When deciding what to take for our Jimmy Buffett tailgating experience, I of course thought of making cupcakes! I made the Margarita cupcakes but also wanted something more traditional… I saw a picture of some beach and shark cupcakes and thought they were really cute and very fitting.
As usual, when I make more than 1 kind of recipe, I make one from scratch and one from a box. I made the margarita cupcakes from scratch and used the WW Diet Coke method on these babies.
Diet Coke Cupcakes – 2 WW pts
1 box cake mix – I used Devil’s Food
1 can of diet coke – any variety will do – I used Diet Dr Pepper
1 egg white (to help hold it all together)
Follow directions on box for cake or cupcakes except use only ingredients listed above.
I used store bought frosting that and dyed it blue.

I’d love to have one of those for breakfast right about now 🙂 Can’t wait to see what else is in store this week!
These look amazing and delicious! I have never made bars, but I love eating them! I can’t wait to see the rest of your recipes, and I’m sure they will inspire me to make some bars of my own 🙂
These look great! They’ve got a little bit of everything.
Yummm. I’m excited to see what else you post this week – I always make bars instead of individual cookies, so much easier!
Those bars will always have a special place in my heart, because that’s what I debuted my blog’s new look with! Plus… they are just insanely delicious!
Looks great!
I can’t even begin to tell you what I’d give for one of those right now!
Those look delicious and definitely something my hubby would love. I’ve been in a baking funk lately and will have to try these this week.
On another note…since you’ve changed your blog around a bit, it’s taking a very long time to load. Is it just me that’s having this problem?
Thanks for letting me know Kelly. I haven’t heard that from anyone else. I use Google Chrome and it doesn’t seem to have any issues, but I’ll definitely look in to it.
These were great using up all the random baking goods in my kitchen. Wonderful recipe!
