What?
How did this happen? How did I make Mountain Dew-flavored cupcakes? Why did I do this when I don't even like Mountain Dew as a soft drink?
Why do I like Mountain Dew so much more as a cupcake?
Why... why... why... waah ... waah ... waah ......
I saw this recipe while randomly scouring the blogosphere the other day, and I was entranced. So was the Hubbalubb, who does in fact drink Mountain Dew on a semi-frequent (everyday) basis.
And thus, the pestering began.
Yes. I will make you these cupcakes.
Little did I know I would actually want to eat them, too. Little did I know that I would half of the batch in two days. Little did I know how much I would want to make them again...
I'm trying to stop myself from making another batch before I can get this written and out to you.
Wish me luck...
