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.

This sounds so amazing!
Mouth watering 🙂 I love cannolis and I am sure my husband and I would finish this ice cream off quick!!

I bet you would love it. And I’m sure you could find a bakery who would sell you cannoli shells. I couldn’t find anything in Cincinnati and I didn’t have time to make any, so I had to go with store bought…
Genius! I love the idea of this ice cream, I would hoard this for myself!!! Looks absolutely sinful!

Hehe, I know what you mean. Sometimes I hide desserts in the freezer and don’t tell Hubby where they went 😉
It was so delicious. I might try and make it soon.
oh man, i am so trying this!!! I love the filing of cannolis but could take or leave the shell, so I think this would be perfect 🙂

I’m sure you would love this – you could even leave out the shell pieces if you wanted to.
