Delicious Fiber...No Cardboard In Sight

I highly recommend these Fiber One apple cinnamon muffins from Betty Crocker. They are so good, and one muffin has five grams of fiber...that's 20% of the recommended daily allowance! Although the sugar content is a little high (14g per serving), I still love them. For breakfast or a quick snack, I grab a muffin, maybe spread on a little peanut butter, and I'm out the door.

One box makes 12 muffins. I baked them in a Wilton muffin tin. I works great...with a little non-stick cooking spray, they slide right out.

Here's what you need:

1 box Fiber One apple cinamon muffin mix

3/4 cup water

2TB vegetable oil

2 eggs

non-stick cooking spray

1 medium bowl

1 spoon

muffin tin

A Touch of Fairytale Charm

I created this cake for my niece who was performing in her first ballet recital. I knew that I wanted to theme the cake after her costume, so I dyed the icing this beautiful blue to match her dress. Then, I topped the cake with white feathers and silk peonies. I think it gives the cake the perfect touch of fairytale charm.

And yes, the cake is riding atop the center console of my husbands Ford F-250. It rode like this for 100 miles and luckily managed to remain intact for the party.

I actually cheated on the cake and used a Betty Crocker box mix, but I frosted it with homemade icing. Each cake tier has two layers that alternate between chocolate and yellow cake. Between the cake layers are layers of chocolate buttercream icing. The whole cake is topped with traditional buttercream icing, dyed blue. The dots, edges and writing are done with buttercream icing.
