Say Happy Birthday with Chocolate Chip Cupcakes!

This past weekend Curt's brother, sister-in-law and nephew were in town on vacay and it was his sister-in-laws birthday.  I had been thinking of what cake to make & was scrolling through pinterest thinking maybe I'd try something new, or try something easy like box cake but with some fun decoration.  I decided instead that I would make one of my favorite cupcakes- chocolate chip- and decorate the cupcakes to look like a bingo board, since she loooooves bingo.  So, here is the recipe, with pics of course :)


Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

Ingredients:
~1 package yellow cake mix
~1 (3.4 oz) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
~1 cup milk
~1 c vegetable oil
~4 eggs
~1 c mini chocolate chips (I usually dump in a little more)

yup...this is it!!!!

Directions:
~Preheat oven to 350
~In mixing bowl, combine cake and pudding mixes, milk, oil, and eggs

super easy-dump it all in!!!

 ----->beat on low speed until moistened, then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes

~Stir in chocolate chips

~Pour in lined cupcake pans

~bake 20-30 minutes

~cool & frost cupcakes! 

sorry mom- not homemade frosting, but this is one of my faves!!!

 
Here you can see my attempt at a bingo board- the problem was that I didn't want white frosting on chocolate chip cupcakes, and we couldn't find a white frosting writer (although we didn't try too hard), so I improvised and put a Nilla wafer on top, then used a frosting writer.  Hey, I tried! and they tasted pretty darn good!!!!
