The girl that didn't bake.

There once was a girl that didn't bake. She never really cared for sweets, and her mom never baked, so she never learned. 

But once when the girl was at a youth camp, she was forced to bake. She was given a simple job, mashing bananas for banana nut muffins. After a time of hard work, the girl was discouraged that the bananas were not mashing. She talked to her counselor, and explained her problem. The wise lady counselor tried to hold back laughter as the naive girl demonstrated the way she had been trying to mash the bananas. In a calm way, the lady showed the girl her mistake. She had been stabbing with her fork at the bananas rather than mashing them. The girl then volunteered to wash the dishes for the rest of the baking session. She knew she couldn't ruin that.

Well, the girl in the story decided to learn how to bake. So today, she baked her first batch of cupcakes. Here is the results.

Everyone loved them, and now there are barely any cupcakes left.

In case you're wondering, yes, I am that girl in the story.

If you're thinking these don't look like the normal cupcakes, you're right. My Mawmaw taught me that using pudding rather than icing is not only healthier, but won't make people sick like icing can. It cuts the pure sugar taste, and adds a really good flavor. 

Plus, you have regular pudding left as an extra dessert.

I also made vanilla cupcakes and vanilla pudding, but I didn't get pictures of those. 

So have you ever tried or heard of using pudding instead of icing?
