Blue Velvet Cupcakes -- Recipe + Baking Kit Giveaway from Dawn Ultra -- Simplify Your Summer!
Disclosure: This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Dawn. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.
In our house, my husband is the "cook," but it's usually myself and the kids who do the baking. When we got a recipe for blue velvet cupcakes and a baking kit from Dawn, we couldn't wait to dive in.
The recipe wasn't anything too difficult, but it used the whole container of blue food coloring. You can see what the cake batter looked like as I started to mix it and how blue our cupcakes came out!
I said these were "Smurf" blue or "Blue's Clues" blue (my kid's favorite show when they were little), or may-be "Frozen." Actually these would be great with the white frosting and some red star sprinkles or July 4th decorations for Independence Day! You could brainstorm some ideas for other colors too.
Anyway, I really had a mess once I got them in the oven, and I was a little worried about the blue food coloring. I used my Dawn Ultra though, and everything washed up as good as new. I also like that I literally used a drop to clean up everything (saving money). Dawn Ultra's also great for cleaning up the countertop, sink, and stove too. I had everything clean and put away before my first batch of cupcakes were out of the oven.
The cupcakes were delicious by the way. Definitely give them a try, especially if you have kids. They'll think they're a lot of fun with the bright blue color!

I want to try Dawn Ultra because I wash dishes by hand and Dawn works really well on grease.
20% off Barnes & Noble is my favorite deal for today.
Dawn has always cleaned very well for me in the past.
I think blue velvet cupcakes are a fun idea also!!
Those cupcakes look so cute and so good. I love using Dawn too as my dish washing detergent.

I want to try Dawn Ultra because anything that makes washing dishes easier is OK with me.
i entered and I hope I win..
I actually use Dawn ultra, but not always for washing dishes. It's great for killing fleas on rescue dogs, and I've had to deal with plenty of dogs coming from shelters that were infested with fleas. Dawn is gentle on the animals' skin and fur, gets rid of the fleas, and not only cleans the dogs' fur and skin, but leaves a clean scent that is much better than the way most of these dogs smell when they first come out of the shelters. Of course, I love to bake and use it plenty in my kitchen, too.
I already love Dawn! I am glad for a detergent that keeps my hands softer.
