    Tried the cupcakes and love them! I think they would even be good with icecream. I made chocolate ones and they pretty much tasted like a brownie. I also found cool whip choclate flavor (which I was a litte skeptical of....But it was good). Thanks for the recipe!

    can these be frozen after? If I bake something i would prefer to individually wrap each and freeze them so that 1) I can't eat them all at once 2) i can pop them in my lunch bag for work.

    Thanks!

    have these baking in the oven now, in ice cream cones, so 24 cup cake cones is working out to

    85 cal + 20 cone cal = total 105 calories :) yum!

    So I just made the cupcakes and WOW they were delicious. the whole cake mix, cool whip free, and pudding mix brings each cupcake to 154 calories. Does that seem right to you guys. The mix I made only made 17 cupcakes so I took all the calories from the cake mix the cool whip and the pudding mix and divided it by 17 and I got 154. That actually seems like a lot still to me but definitely better than store bought.

    Hello Cherie2304,

    IF your cake mix originally called for milk and eggs, then the nutrition information on the box would not be correct. Thus the number of calories in your calculation would be off.

    I also made these yesterday with Dr. Pepper cherry and choclate cake mix for the frosting i used marshmellow fluff yummy my daughter and her friends ate almost all of them i figured them to be about 90 cal per cupcake. Im so excited to try different creations!!!! also two of my girl friend were really leary about them and couldnt tell they were diet cupcakes both wanted to know exactly how to make them I Love IT!!!

    Oh i guess that makes sense but the box said that the mix itself was 170cals and when prepared with the eggs and oil it would be 280 cals. OYE!!! So confusing sometimes.

    the box gives the calorie info for just the dry mix. since the diet soda adds no calories, you just divide the dry mix calorie count by the number of servings to get each portion's amount.

    sometimes mine come out a little flat. if you add two egg whites, this fluffs it right up, and only adds 34 calories to the entire cake.
