Artificial -> Natural by MsGoblinPants Extraordinaire

August 12th, 2008 10:32 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a natural version of an artificial product.

Little Debbie snack cakes are a huge disappointment. For something that's supposed to taste like cream and chocolate, they sure taste a lot like unpleasant chemicals.
But no more must we be held hostage by the artificial "creme-filled-chocolate-cupcake" provided by Little Debbie! We can take matters into our own hands--and kitchens!
I made replicas of the filled chocolate cupcakes, using all-natural ingredients and making everything by hand. I make cupcakes fairly often, but this was the first time I ever filled a cupcake.

I used a delectably simple chocolate devils food cake recipe.


After they cooled, I cut a cone out of each one.

I agree with you about Little Debbie snack cakes; they look so good, but taste so cruddy. These were yummier, I assume.

yeah, were they yummy? +1

Yay, pingüinos! These things are such a vice that I wonder if I would like the all-natural version... 97999540_945b14a187.jpgponguino.jpg
