"A little salty, and the garlic aftertaste is a little weird." -- That was his only feedback. Ha! He ate the whole thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129872 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 20:38:46 +0000 purrpletulips 2129872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The key is making sure you remember which one you "ruined". Good luck </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129772 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 18:49:58 +0000 littlejoy 2129772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welp! I forgot to add my flax eggs, so it's probably going to be terrible anyway!! ;) I added a LOT of Sriracha to his. :) We shall see. My luck, he'll probably love it, and not get that it's a joke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129676 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 16:13:07 +0000 CakeLady 2129676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could add garlic or onion powder to some of the batter or the frosting - that would probably work for a vanilla cake too. Or if you do a whipped cream frosting you could steep herbs or garlic in the cream, then strain it out before you whip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129671 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 16:09:56 +0000 Corduroy 2129671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've seen meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato icing but that might be too much work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129651 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 15:52:07 +0000 Reese 2129651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Add Hot sauce to the frosting (if it's chocolate/not noticeable)</p> <p>I also agree with adding salt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129648 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 15:49:56 +0000 blackbird 2129648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you can make it savory instead (like, in a bad way)</p> <p>but yes, you can add a ton of salt. Also, disgusting. Even something like a couple TB of salt will ruin the batch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-can-i-ruin-a-cupcake#post-2129647 Wed, 01 Apr 2015 15:48:45 +0000 littlejoy 2129647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today is my husband's birthday ... My April Fools man!! LO and I are going to make some cupcakes, but I want to "ruin" one of them as a little joke. Can I just add a bunch of salt to it before baking? Will that work? -- Can you tell I don't bake?</p> <p>Or, is there a better way to make it taste weird that won't hurt him or break a tooth? I thought about hiding something in it, but that's dangerous territory. </p>
