Things are really looking yummy over at the Twofer Challenge. As Marie Antoinette said "Let them eat cake!" or in this case make a cake. Or cupcake. You choose.
I chose cupcake because that's the best stamp/die set I have that could be finagled to make two different designs. It's the Layered Cupcake set from Altenew.
I stamped the cupcake and added a flower from The Greetery over the icing. For display, I put it in the nested dome from Waffle Flower. The background is from Catherine Pooler, embossed instead of cut and the tag and sentiment are from My Craft Spot (oob).
For some added fun, Darnell said we could include our favorite cake recipe. When my kids were young they didn't really like frosting so I came across this cake that solved the problem.
Chocolate Pudding Cake
Cook one small box of chocolate pudding according to package directions.
Mix in one box of chocolate cake mix, stirring well.
Pour into 9 x 13 pan and sprinkle with one cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional).
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
It's moist and delicious as is but you could add whipped topping if you like. EZPZ.

p.s. the cake sounds delicious, too!
I like the cupcake under the cloche and your shaker is festive! Two lovely cards!
The flower is a wonderful way to decorate your first cupcake, Bobby! Love how you did a shaker card for the twofer! So fun and a great way to celebrate! Your cake recipe looks yummy and my kind of baking. I'm all about quick and easy in the kitchen!
Two GREAT cupcake cards Bobby!! Love the addition of the flower and cloche to the 1st card, and who doesn't LOVE a shaker card?!! Your cake recipe sounds wonderful and definitely my style of baking these days...EASY!! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful cards with us at The Twofer Challenge!! Hugs. :0)
I think I might be in trouble asking for these recipes because now I can't wait to make them! Like this one! Can someone say chocolatieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?! Oh, yes, your cards! You can never have too many sprinkles on a cupcake, so I like them in small and large sizes, Bobby, and applaud you for saving and using such tiny bits ... you live up to your blog name! And I love the your flower-bedecked cupcake on regal display in the dome with a darling tag sediment! Thank you for playing in TCC #38! Hugs, Darnell
That lovely bright bloom is a wonderful confection, Bobby ... and deserves it's individual dome to cosset it before it's eaten! Your shaker is so fun and celebratory ... all those sprinkly elements are scrummy! I'm not a frosting-lover either, so your recipe sounds yummy ... would certainly be happy to sample a slice or three of that chocolate cake!! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
