Okay, folks! Duncan Hines first, since it was my favorite...even after the cons.
So, I was sooo excited about this product. All of those flavors and the convenience of it all. Oh my stars, I was in love. For my first one, I tried the cotton candy flavor. Why? Well,it seemed the most...original?
The flavor was great. It wasn't too sweet or overpowering. The scent was equally sweet. It took me back to my childhood of carnivals and festivals, eating cotton candy til I could eat no more.
I baked a quick cake and decorated it with the frosting, using it for the filling as well. I was so sloppy with the "decorating" and just really didn't care.
See?!
But it isn't all my fault! The frosting got very warm, rather quickly. It's pretty runny. Yeah, the "decorating" stayed in it's place...but it definitely wasn't ideal for decorating a cake.
But. I did a couple of cupcakes, just playing around. I found that I didn't properly combine all of the frosting and mix. But. It turned out kind of cute?
Heh.
Lesson learned: simple idea, easy to use, but would only be used as filling or in small dosages...like on cupcakes!
Next:
I picked these up from Wal Mart one day, just thought the packaging was cute...to be honest. :]
I tried them anyways. I made the cookie sandwiches like suggested on the back (or side...whatever) of the box. Not too sweet or tart. And I only baked the cookies for about 8 minutes. Let the sit to firm and then move to a rack to cool. I let my last batch stay in the suggested time and they had a brown tinge to them. Uuuuugly.
[The cookies on the very bottom were from the last batch.]
From the small amounts of the pink lemonade frosting that were used, it wasn't bad. I wouldn't put it past me to frost an entire cake with it. :]
The kids loved them, that's all that matters to me.
