It was Labor Day, or some other day of the week where I didn't have to work, and I call up my cousin and say, "Hey, want to hang out and bake Batman cupcakes?" Of course she said yes because, honestly, who turns down free cupcakes?
There's not really a recipe to these. It's just out-of-the-box cupcakes. I grabbed whatever cake mix looked good at the time (I think it was double fudge or something. I don't know. Don't care. Deliciousness is all that matters). Same goes for the frosting, except it needs to be yellow for obvious character reasons. I also grabbed a couple tubes of tiny "drawing frosting" so that I could draw 30 Bat-signs.
The best one
The saddest one
One thing about the frosting: frosting out-of-the-box-cake or cupcakes usually results in the cakes falling apart if you're not delicate while applying the frosting. The only thing I can think of to prevent this is to get softer frosting or make it softer somehow, but I have no idea. I'm not a pastry chef...
Anyway, these were good. I made a ton of them and took them to work the next day (so it was Labor Day that I made these). I don't think many people were that amused by my cupcakes because a total of 5 were eaten that day. So, I took the rest home and my roommates and I gained 5 pounds that week. Regardless, I had fun with these, and I want to start baking more. Maybe next time from scratch. And Superman cupcakes. Actually, drawing a bunch of Superman symbols with tubes of frosting sounds like hard work...
