4th of July

Very busy lately.  Have hardly been home at all but I really wanted to make some cupcakes for the 4th.  So I made these from a BOX!  Even made the frosting from a box!  

 
 Evidence of the "made from a box" cupcakes.  At least I baked them myself.  


 Interesting frosting.  Added some softened butter and a bit of warm water.  Then I checked the ingredients of the frosting box.  Powered sugar.  That's pretty much it!  I paid a premium price for powdered sugar in a cool box.  I'm pathetic.  That's what I get for trying to take short-cuts. 
I added a little extra water and made it almost glaze-like.  After I frosted the tops, the frosting dripped down around the sides.  Looked super yummy. 

I didn't get to taste them so I guess I'll have to make this "recipe" again.  
Only I think I'll make my own box of powdered sugar.
