Fruity Pebbles Cupcakes

Follow me!

Cereal is one of those wonderfully nostalgic foods that 28-year-old me can’t seem to let go of. In the same category belongs Cheddar Goldfish, (which is a permanent staple in my classroom, for my snack time, not the kids’), boxed mac and cheese (Annies or Kraft, I want it all), and holiday Oreos (the colored filling just tastes better than the regular, I’m convinced). I have a few, what some may call, immature tastes, but there’s a reason that these foods are addictively delicious (namely: sugar and fat). Anyway, this youthful attitude toward cereal and snacks and candy led me to my latest cupcake creation, from just the other day: The Fruity Pebbles Cupcake.

It’s a rather simple design; a yellow cake base and and Fruity Pebbles-infused buttercream frosting swirled on top (with more Pebbles for garnish, obviously). These cupcakes make for a delicious breakfast treat if I do say so myself, but of course they are just as delicious as an after-dinner dessert  if for some reason, cupcakes don’t do it for you first thing in the morning.

Don’t be ashamed if you, too, have the taste palette of a small child. If eating Fruity Pebbles Cupcakes as a fully grown adult is wrong, then I have no business in being right.

Add in the heavy cream (start with 2 tablespoons and add a little more if needed), vanilla extract, and salt and continue mixing on medium-high speed for another minute or until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

    I realized more new things on this losing weight issue. 1 issue is a good nutrition is extremely vital any time dieting. A tremendous reduction in junk food, sugary foods, fried foods, sweet foods, red meat, and white-colored flour products may be necessary. Retaining wastes bloodsuckers, and toxins may prevent objectives for fat loss. While selected drugs quickly solve the matter, the terrible side effects usually are not worth it, and so they never offer more than a non permanent solution. It can be a known proven fact that 95 of diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog site.

    Thanks for the recommendations on credit repair on all of this blog. Things i would offer as advice to people would be to give up the mentality they can buy now and pay later. As being a society we tend to make this happen for many things. This includes getaways, furniture, as well as items we’d like. However, you need to separate one’s wants out of the needs. While you’re working to raise your credit score you really have to make some sacrifices. For example you can shop online to save money or you can go to second hand outlets instead of expensive department stores to get clothing.

    I’ve learned some new things by means of your blog site. One other thing I would really like to say is always that newer computer operating systems are likely to allow far more memory to be utilized, but they furthermore demand more ram simply to work. If people’s computer cannot handle far more memory and the newest software requires that storage increase, it could be the time to buy a new Computer system. Thanks

    Thanks for your posting. One other thing is that individual states in the United states of america have their very own laws which affect house owners, which makes it quite difficult for the the legislature to come up with a brand new set of guidelines concerning foreclosures on house owners. The problem is that a state possesses own regulations which may have impact in an adverse manner when it comes to foreclosure plans.

    Throughout this great design of things you actually receive an A just for hard work. Where you actually lost me personally was first in the specifics. You know, it is said, the devil is in the details… And that could not be much more correct here. Having said that, allow me reveal to you what exactly did give good results. The text is definitely rather convincing which is possibly why I am making an effort to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can see the jumps in reasoning you make, I am not really convinced of just how you appear to unite the ideas which in turn produce the final result. For the moment I shall yield to your issue but hope in the foreseeable future you actually connect the facts much better.
