Before making the chowder, I made some chocolate cupcakes using Betty Crocker triple chocolate fudge cake mix. I never understood why people always get upset over people who use cake mix. When you're in a rush, don't have all the ingredients needed for a cake from scratch, why not? I always have boxes of cake mix in the house. You never know when you'll need one! I change my ingredients up a bit. Using buttermilk instead of water, 4 eggs, and 1 stick of butter instead of oil, bake as directed on package and there ya go. Makes a really great cake, and no one will even know you didn't make it from scratch! So ha, in your face you cake mix snobs.

I found a few frosting recipes that looked promising, but I didn't have unsalted butter, and frankly I didn't even think the frosting would need it, the cream cheese and pumpkin would be fine all on it's own. So, I just mixed it up, hoping it would turn out well. Go figure, Tasha being the one to just throw things in a bowl and hope for the best. That's what I do! Grab life by the horns and go with it :D
