Our friend Olivia came by for lunch today, and she requested I make some of her favorite buttercream frosting. Well, we couldn’t just have frosting, so I whipped up a batch of chocolate cupcakes, from the new Betty Crocker Devil’s Food Gluten-Free mix I had in the cupboard. Mmm…. just like the orginal. 
We didn’t really bother “officially” frosting them. The three of us just stood around the kitchen putting some frosting on one, then devouring without regard to the pretty Valentine’s cups I even used! But, I took the liberty of making on “pretty” just for you.
The mix is simple to use: Just follow instructions on the box.
For the buttercream, I mixed about 3/4 stick of butter, 1/2 bag of powdered sugar, some milk and vanilla. I used a little more vanilla than normal, so the vanilla flavor really stood out. But, I loved it and think I’ll do it that way more often!
Enjoy!

Hey Jen!
This is awesome! You could really touch and help some people that struggle with this as well as those who just want to live a little heathier!
I wanted to let you know that I use the same frosting recipe but I use Almond Extract, makes it taste like cherry!
I was so thrilled, when I see gluten free things it makes me think of you and smile, your such a fun loving person an I have the honor of calling you my friend!
Best wishes and can’t wait to read more!
Love you,
Michelle
