    Is there a specific kind of cake mix to use? I just bought Duncan Hines and it's 160 for 1/12 of a package (makes 12). That is nowhere near 19 cals, lol. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    The math isn't adding up here. There are 2000+ calories in a box of cake mix, so for these to be 19 calories you'd have to get well over 100 cupcakes from one batch of cake mix.

    She made MINI cupcakes. She noted in a post later on that if you make 24 regular sized cupcakes its about 90 calories per cupcake.

    Yes, I get that... but that still means you'd need to get 115 or so mini cupcakes from a batch of cake mix. That's TINY.

    Are you sure? Don't the calories on the box include the eggs and oil you would normally add?

    The box of Funfetti, just the mix without eggs/oil is 180 calories per serving and the box has a total of 12 servings=12x180=2160. she made 48 mini cupcakes. So the total calories for just the box mixture is 2160/48=45 calories per cupcake. Even if there are miniscule size cupcakes and divide the 45 by 2, then I get 22.5 calories for miniscule cupcakes.

    I don't get how they are only 19 calories. Really? You are using a box of cake mix.....there's gotta be more than 19 cals in one.

    These super low calorie things NEVER turn out to actually be the calories they're claimed to be. Ever.

    These are in no way 19 calories.

    Not to belabor the point, but I have both sizes of cupcake tins. One regular size cupcake is equal to 4 mini cupcakes (I measured to make sure I wasn't mis-speaking). That means the box makes approximately 96 mini cupcakes, each with just under 23 calories. I realize that precision is important in counting calories but it is only a 4 calorie difference. And yes, they are indeed miniscule.
