The 12 cupcake mixes

[roset]

It is so perfect for my family but notice it costs more than a cake mix. I thought that I could get a cake mix & use half of it and half the eggs,oil & water. I use to freeze cupcakes but somehow to me the frozen cakes defrosted doesn't taste the same. Do you think that would work? Some cake mixes want 3 eggs, don't know how to half that. What do you think?

Is there a website to look at? I don't quite understand...

If I remember right, you can half an egg by beating it up and then taking 2 TBLS. out for one egg. I'll have to look that up though

Looked it up. Just measure one beaten egg in a measuring cup and take out half. It should be about 1 1/2 TBLS., depending on what size of egg you are using.

or, I think you could probably use a small egg in place of half a large egg. I'm gonna have to try that some day to see what volume small eggs have.

Thanks, I think this can work out for me, plus I got food saver so I can valcum the half of cake mix. I could not figure out why getting a 12 cupcake mix would cost more money than a cake mix.

Re: The 12 cupcake mixes

anything new and convenient costs more money. you could save even more money by finding a recipe and halving the recipe. Why buy something that has all those additives in it?

I would use egg beaters instead for "half" an egg.
I would also be VERY careful measuring out the cake mix...there are sights that give you do-it-yourself cake mix recipes.

Re: The 12 cupcake mixes

Just thought of something. 2 egg whites can be used in recipes in place of 1 egg, so why not use 1 egg white for half an egg?

If you check out the website I posted it says use two eggs, don't half an egg, for half the mix.
