Recipe: spice pear cupcakes

[kyogres]

Recently, I haven't been baking (or cooking) nearly as much as I wanted to, so I decided to fix that.

Can you tell me what a yellow cake mix is? These sound delicious and I'd like to try them, but I don't think we have "yellow cake mix" here. (Also, I usually make all my cakes from scratch XD.) The caramel pears sound pretty nice too, I wouldn't mind having a look at those.

Actually, I found this: http://chickensintheroad.com/cooking/homemade-yellow-cake-mix/

Would you be able to take a photo of the instructions for the store-bought mix? I want to check to make sure the quantities would also apply to the one I googled.

You don't have yellow cake mix there? What kind of backwater country do you live in?

This is the cake mix I used. I believe the website has the same instructions as the back of the box, but let me know if you need a photo of the box.

The spice pear cake instructions say that 1 package of yellow cake mix is about 15.25 oz, if that helps.

Thanks! We have cake mix, but "yellow" cake mix might be an American thing. Does the original recipe specify to use those changed amounts, or is it your modification?

This looks really good. I might make it as a cake instead (since we lack a cupcake tin), but either way, it looks delicious.

I prefer cupcakes, but it would probably taste good as a cake too.

By the way, my calorie calculation was incorrect the first time. I've updated the recipe with the correct amounts, if that matters to you. (I forgot to multiply by the amount of servings the first time. How does I math?)

Neither of us can count calories without it getting really out of hand--I'm a recovering anorexic, and Geena has her own food issues--but thanks for letting me know! (Mostly, when I need to lose weight, I cut back on sweet things, soda especially, and up my fruits and veggies. It works well for me.)

That sounds amazing, especially in the fall. Thanks for posting the recipe; I'm totally trying this out!

[kyogres]

No problem.

Just fyi, my calorie calculation was incorrect the first time. I've updated the recipe with the correct amounts, if that matters to you.

i like caramel. interested in the rest even though chances of me lighting them on fire is very high.

these look amazing though. i need them.

Here's a link to the caramel instructions.

PS - I'm not sure if anyone cares about this except me, but I calculated the calories incorrectly the first time. It's been updated with the correct amounts.
