Mashed Potato Cupcakes



On the bake at 350 blog, I found this cute recipe for mashed potato cupcakes. I can't wait to make them! The author of the blog talks about following a recipe for doctoring cake mixes that comes from the book Hello, Cupcake!. I assume this recipe is awesome since Karly makes cupcakes from the same book & they are divine.
For these cupcakes, choose any cake mix you like. Substitute 1 cup of buttermilk for the liquid, add the amount of oil called for on the box and use 4 eggs. This makes 24 cupcakes. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost each cupcake with 3 tablespoons vanilla frosting, mounding it in the middle. Use a teaspoon to make an indentation in the middle; put a yellow Starburst or any 1 inch yellow fruit chew, (taffy, etc.) in the middle of the cupcake. Drizzle with gravy (store-bought caramel sauce, heated).
