  I usually make them from scratch but DH wanted to make this one so it was a box.

  My plan is to do cupcakes from scratch.... but pillsbury mixes were on sale this week so I grabbed a couple as back up. I need to make a test batch from scratch to see how it goes

  Kind of special snowflake. I make a homemade ice cream cake for most birthdays around here. For G's first I did a homemade cookie cake because it was Cookie Monster theme. We're not a big cake fan family!

  No cake here. We are doing cupcakes but they are store bought. I am buying a big cupcake for KJ's smash cake. Everyone else will eat regular size cupcakes.

  Can I put both? For his party, he had the free one that came with his cake. But we are going to celebrate with my ILs in a few days and I'll make a healthy one for that. I didn't just let him dig in all he wanted into the cake because I didn't want him to have all that sugar. So, the next one he can eat the whole thing if he wants :-)

  SS: I know someone who bakes fancy cakes and paid her to make it. Since I paid for it, I voted store-bought, but technically it wasn't bought from a store.

  It was made from scratch, but not by me. DH's aunt makes all the cakes for family events.

  SS-I'm making cupcakes from scratch to serve at the party but her cake (which is more for decoration) is out of a box and will not be served.

  His party is in about a week but he will have a sugar laden custom cake from a bakery.

  Her smash cake for her photos was from a box. She just smashed a cupcake that was store bought at her party.

  I made banana cupcakes from the Hello, Cupcakes book and just used whipped cream for "frosting"

  Homemade cupcakes with store bought icing because after I made 80 cupcakes I got lazy.

  Your edit made me LOL @Steamboat1679‌ . Did it have earthy undertones as well?

  Smash cake on her actual birthday was a delicious from scratch vanilla cake with ombré pink buttercream frosting. She cried, lol, and barely ate it. We had a little bday celebration with both sets of grandparents over the weekend. DH really wanted ice cream cake so I just picked up a single chocolate cupcake for M. She was either in a much better mood or really prefers chocolate to vanilla because she devoured the cupcake.

  Funny story, my SO's aunt asked what I put into my cupcakes because they were so good, my response "Whatever Betty Crocker puts into her cupcakes." Then I made buttercream icing. Also! We had a few gluten free people at the party and I tried out a gluten free box mix made by President's Choice, so good. It tasted like regular cake.
