    Do you think these would work with sparkling water?

    Ooh, I'm interested to know this, too!

    As for the formaldehyde.. I have no clue? I was also told that my stove could explode from baking diet soda cupcakes however it hasn't happened. :glasses: so i'm going to continue to experiment! :bigsmile:

    no sure about the sparkling water... it's something to try though! yum :love:

    THANK YOU
    This is perfect! I can't have eggs or dairy right now so this is perfect!! I also can't have wheat so I'm going to try this with a gluten free cake mix, I'm very excited!!!
    I've done the one where you use a can of pumpkin puree and cake mix but they are pretty dense, more like brownie texture.

    I'm so excited to try this!!

    I was very skeptical to try these but once my 13 year old brother ate 17 of my 24 cupcakes out the trail batch I knew I was on to something pretty GREAT!

    I have a half a two liter of seltzer water at home. I'm willing to try it out, if anyone is interested in the non-aspartame version.

    I guess we'll go strawberry or lemon?

    This sounds horrible. I'd rather have a delicious homemade cupcake with real butter, eggs, sugar, etc. I don't care if one had 300 calories, I'll make room for a GOOD, quality treat now and then.

    Ok is it the MINI cupcakes that are 19 cal or regular sized cupcakes??

    The mini's (in the pictures) are 19
    the regular are 90 something depending on the type of cake mix you use

    Don't forget to put your ingredients in the recipe builder

    I know there are some diet sodas that don't use aspartame as their main sweetener. Shasta brand is an example (they use Splenda). Also there is a brand out there sweetened with stevia but I can't recall the name right now.

    I am going to try this recipe with Shasta soda this weekend to see how it turns out. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. ^^

    how do you calcalate the calories?

    There's a section in your food diary that lets you input your very own recipes.

    To make 48 of them, were they really tiny, bitesized? Or regular sized cupcakes?

    When I just plugged in JUST the funfetti mix into the Recipe Builder, only the cake mix divided by 48 came to 45 calories a piece? Did I do something wrong?

    I totally get that.
    However, some others may not have that kind of control, so it's a good option instead of going over calories.
    And for people like me that currently aren't allowed eggs, milk, or wheat... it's a nice treat since although I would LOVE a real cupcake, I cannot have the real thing,(unless I want to bust out in hives everywhere).

    on the box it says it makes 12 cupcakes at 250 a peice. I know that half that would be the 24 for 90

    gosh did I add that wrong :sad: I sooo hope not!

    I'm not sure, I just know that when I input the info into the Recipe Builder just for the cake mix nothing else, unprepared, it comes to that for 48 cupcakes?

    I have an awesome chocolate cake recipe that originally subbed water and mayo for eggs and milk...I use greek nonfat yogurt in place of the mayo, it is a moist and delicious treat, but the sugar in the batter, and the choco ganache frosting put it over the top...would Splenda sub for the sugar? What about sugar free choco chips?

    If you do the math 12 x 250 = 3000 cal for whole recipe
    3000 cals / by 24 = 125 per cup cake

    Wouldn't the box have the calories for the cupcakes made NORMALLY though? with egg and oil? Because they would be considerably less using diet soda instead.
    I don't think just the dry mix is that high in calories

    Most boxes have the calories of the mix only. A box of German Chocolate Cake mix that I have has 2040 calories in it (12 servings at 170 each serving, cake mix only). I don't have FunFetti Flavour, but I'm sure it will have the calories for the mix only too.
