Cupcakes

We had a birthday the other day for my dad that lives with us and of course I waited for the last minute before I even thought about do we have cake do we not have cake? I'll be honest I'm still a little nervous about making a gluten free cake for all to eat especially doing it with egg replacement for the little one and making dairy free frosting just sounded overwhelming. I'll save that adventure for a weekend and I'll take pictures. LOL. So I did what most of us mom's do and I made a regular cake from good ol' Betty Crocker ( which by the way happened to be in the deep abyss of the non gluten free food storage, and made Bob's Red Mill Chocolate Cake Mix. I made the GF version first to save myself some time on the clean up. To my surprise the whole 2 cake process only took me 20 minutes!! For 2 cakes. Especially since the oven was already warm. I choose to make GF cupcakes instead of a whole cake since I can freeze them in a Tupperware and have them ready to go for B-day parties or for a special treat if someone happens to drop off cookies for our family Payson can have a GF cupcake instead. I actually made the non GF cake a German Chocolate one and used the same German Chocolate frosting on the GF cupcake for Payson. Don't freak out I did check out the label and I believe if I remember right it was Duncan Hines frosting. All I know is that it's the frosting I usually get and if I get the creamy version and not the whipped of whatever flavor it is GF. Does anyone know why whipped frosting in a can has wheat?? Anyway, It was great, everyone was happy and I have lots of cupcakes for the future. In fact we just got an invite to a Halloween Party I'm sure I'll have to send them with.
