it's shark week!!! i don't even have cable, and i'm excited! so excited that i made shark week cupcakes. i don't think these needs much more of an explanation. on to the shark week sweets.
Shark Week Cupcakes
- one box dairy egg free cake mix (i used duncan hines classic yellow)
- 3 small bananas or 2 large
- juice of one lemon
- water
- oil
- cupcake liners
- icing (you can make this or buy in a can. i used duncan hines classic vanilla)
- food coloring
- swedish fish
- follow instructions on box for water and oil amounts. mine called for 3 eggs, and this is where the bananas and lemon come in. one banana is equal to one egg as far as replacers go. mine were fairly large so i used just 2 bananas. chop them up then squeeze the juice of one lemon of them and mash. they should turn to about the consistency of an egg...there's your binder!
- i divided my batter in two leaving half yellow, and the coloring the other to a sea-foam green. then put equal parts of each into the cups, and used a knife tip to marbleize them.
- bake according to box. i actually had to leave mind in a tad longer. just use a toothpick or knife to poke the center of a cupcake; if it comes out clean they are finished! let cool.
- while those are cooling mix some of your white icing with blue food coloring for the water, but be sure to leave some white for the splash.
- after cupcakes are cool cover top with blue icing then add a dollop white in the center for a splash. the final touch: swedish fish! these vegan no meat treats will serve as our veracious jaws!
keep in fridge until serving or icing will melt! making these with kids would be a blast. these are so good good that my new un-named cat pulled one of the counter into the sink and ate almost the entire thing. i hope you do too!
