So I debated blogging about this, because I didn’t want to steal the snack thunder from Scotty Snacks, but I just had to mention how awesome these were. I was preparing a big meal and did not know what types of desserts to include in the mix, so I walked past the baking aisle of Safeway and noticed a cake mix package of Lemon Poppy Seed Cupcakes. I ended up finding one and the cupcakes came out amazingly tasty. My lemon glaze came out a little lighter than the picture in Cupcake RN’s blog and I did not use as much, but rather a light drizzle. The lemon flavor was not too sour at all like most lemon flavored foods are, so I enjoyed these even more. Sorry I don’t have a picture of the cherry ones, but I ended up making those out of a plain yellow cake recipe I already had and making a cherry flavored glaze that turned out delicious! If the recipe wasn’t called for the cupcakes to be made this specific way, I would have actually thought they were muffins instead. They were very light and didn’t taste too sugary like most cupcakes do. I absolutely recommend trying out this recipe if you get a chance.
I was particularly surprised that I had enough time to actually bake something, because of all the work and traveling lately. I know it is a bit funny that I enjoyed the short time it took to make this, but being able to sit still for at least an hour without working or doing homework is a very rare find for me. Hopefully with work calming down, I will not have to travel as much and will be able to not only make tasty foods, but find time to myself and get all my personal things done that have been waiting for me.

Lol, snack thunder
Thanks much for sharing, this looks yummy, all lemon glaze drizzle and all! I have yet to make any sort of cupcake or muffin for that matter so, this certainly has me thinking outside the usual items in my kitchen.
Best of luck with the busy schedule, I hope you have some good moments coming your way for more cooking, yoga and just flat out, Samantha time
Lol, You liked that one didn’t you? I went through a list of ways to say it and I came up with “snack thunder”.
You should definitely throw in some cupcake/dessert recipes in there when you try some out. I am trying out some new peanut butter ones, so i’ll probably include those in here if I ever get a chance.
And trust me…Cooking, yoga, and Samantha time are on my list of priorities.
