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.
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 am totally drooling. I lurve pasta and shrimp! I am starring this to make for dinner soon. Yum!

YUM! That a GREAT idea to add the mushrooms and asapargus! We are going to have to try this!
I covet mushroom and asparagus recipes. I’m the only one in my family who will eat them- le sigh.
This looks really good and I love pasta and shrimp too, I so could have helped you polish this off.
Looks good! Thanks for entering VTV!
Others given a capital letter in later printings were copyrighted names such as Kleenex,
which appeared as kleenex in the first printing (the reason it was in the
dictionary, of course, was that it had changed in usage from denoting a brand of
tissue to being a synonym for tissue), but was thereafter capitalized under
threat of lawsuit.
