I CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S A BAKE-OFF!
I’m flying to New York City to participate in a friendly recipe competition at the Unilever Test Kitchen on Friday, November 12, 2010! I’m making my holiday favorite, Snowball Cupcakes! Rich vanilla cake topped with a pillow of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Buttercream Frosting. Will my Snowballs have what it takes?

I would make the snowball cupcakes of course!
Mmmm.. I’d whip up a delicious carrot cake cup cakes with that mixer!
I would make snowball cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes!
Thanks for the step by step instructions for the cupcakes. They sound delicious. I know that the buttermilk will really make them moist.
I need a new hand mixer. The buttons on mine keep getting stuck (because it is old).
I will make this cupcake cake recipe along with my banana bread for the holidays. And with the holidays around the corner…I will be making cookies too.
Can’t wait to meet you later this week and taste these!! Thanks for mentioning me!
Cupcakes sound wonderful…minus the coconut :)
With the dualit hand mixer I would make my grandmother’s famous Pumpkin Chiffon Pie.
Love the contrasting red and white colors. I’ll take a coconut one. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
The mixer would be PERFECT for making all of my yummy holiday cookies!
Oh man, that Dualit hand mixer can be used to make so many things. My favorites are AB’s white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies, holiday disco cookies, and pudding-filled chocolate cupcakes.
One of my favorite things to eat around the holidays is homemade whip cream. Simple I know, but I would use the hand mixer quite often to make fresh whip cream for pies, coffee, hot chocolate, frosting on cakes. I sorta love fresh whip cream ;)
I’ve been making my grandmother’s family cookie recipe for years by hand, and it’s killing me to whip these eggs by hand, this would really help me make her cookies without killing myself for an hour every time!
Thanks for the opportunity Betty!
I am on a real cupcake kick right now! I love that you made a lower fat buttercream for this recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
Hon, if you knew what I was going to whip up with that beater, you’d be on your way over already, with a ribbon on. The mixer, I mean.
I would use the mixer to make one of my favorite cupcakes: Dark Chocolate Sour Cream Cupcakes w/ Cream Cheese Peanut Butter Frosting.
OMG I just looked up this mixer on Amazon.com and totally have to comment again! It has dough hooks, so that could only mean: homemade bread!
I would make brownies and cupcakes.
I’d have to whip up some requested Thanksgiving Day desserts! Specically a Banana Cream Pie for my nephew!
Your cupcakes look delicious – I think the white frosting with coconut looks so elegant. GOOD LUCK!

I’d be whipping up some delicious cookies and cupcakes for family! It’s that time of the year! :)
I’d whip up some peppermint filling for holiday-style brownies :)
I love coconut but not everyone in my family feels the same…. I love that these cupcakes can be frosted with or without the coconut.
I commented on your Snowball Cupcakes post. They looked delicious. If I won, I would use this to bake up a cake.
I would use the mixer and bowl for a chocolate cake.

I’d whip up a batch of sugar cookies for the holidays. Love the cupcakes however. So “wintery”.
Wow .. with this new mixer I will create a delicious buttercream white chocolate pastel blue frosting.. and a chocolate fudge cupcakes and sprinkle white snowflakes on top… I will then create a fondant with the mixer and make mini snowmen to place on top.. would be a perfect mixer for me and my mom to use for our holiday church bizarre baking rather than our wisk we use from the christmas tree shop.
I would make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting!
I would make a chocolate cake and chocolate frosting with the mixer! mmm!!
The cupcakes sound excellent I would ditch the sprinkles and use the coconut YUM!
I would make all sort of things but most often I make pancakes of all varieties!

I would whip up, brownies, cookies, icing, banana bread, pudding, etc!!
OMG, I had bought coconut to include in a peanut butter ball recipe and forgot to add it and was just wondering what to do with it when this recipe caught my eye! Guess I have my answer.
Hmmm, what recipe to make. I bake at least 3-4 nights a week and was looking at some kind of quick bread since I just made candy and cookies so I think it’ll be a pumpkin loaf of some type.
Those cupcakes look amazing & I would love to try the frosting!
I would make meringue-based frosting to force myself to make something I’m usually afraid of.
Beautiful cupcakes, I think I would make half with coconut and half without. Thanks for the contest!
I’d whip up brownies first.
I would bake cupcakes or cookies and I would use the decorating set because I really want to learn how to decorate. Your cupcakes look very yummy.
There are definitely times I wish I had a hand mixed for things like meringue or when I need to move around the bowl, instead of spinning the bowl around the beaters!
I like to make muffins for my office.

Cupcakes look like a little piece of heaven. With the mixer I would make red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
Mmmm, those cupcakes look great. I love buttermilk in any cake and those white sprinkles are too cute-very snowball-ish. I “accidently” gave away my hand mixer recently and really miss it for whipping cream and making up little batches of individual molten chocolate cakes.
1. Love the snowball cupcakes, and the recipe is a bit different with the brown sugar. I’m going to try it.
2. I’ll be whipping up some of my favorite frosting (cream cheese frosting) with my new mixer.
Corncake cupcakes or corn muffins.
Cupcakes look amazing- I can’t believe ICBINB! works so well. Must try.
I would use my new mixer to make whip cream to dollop upon pumpkin pie in a few weeks.
I’d use the mixer to help me make pumpkin pies!
