Sometimes I am not so sure I am a good human being.
I try.
But occasionally I do things that make me wonder about myself…and even from time to time I try to get to the root of the issue. That generally ends with me, as usual, blaming my parents, or my brother, or my childhood dog. Yep, I play the blame game. I’ve even blamed Strawberry Shortcake before…you wanna for what? For making me gain weight. It makes sense if you think about it. I played with that delicious smelling doll for years as a child, which I think subconsciously instilled the belief that playtime should include delicious desserts. See? It’s not a stretch.
So yeah, me not being a great person is probably someone else’s fault. Maybe Oscar the Grouch? Again, not a stretch.
Here are a few examples. Yes, I am ashamed…
Example: Whenever someone falls, my first instinct is never to see if they are ok (unless it’s my child). It is ALWAYS to laugh and point. What is the matter with me that I find people falling hilarious? I mean, it’s not like I have never fallen. You would think I would have compassion.
Example: When someone has something on their face that isn’t supposed to be there, like frosting or a booger. Again, hilarious. I’m not the friend who tells you you have something on your face, I am the friend who gets a giggle out of watching you walk around with snot smeared on your cheek. Evil.
Example: When you are in a public restroom and the person in the stall next to you is having major stomach issues. I cannot seem to contain my laughter. I would imagine that the anonymous person in stall 3 is mortified at the noises that they are making, but I can’t seem to get over the hilarity of it all. (Dumb and Dumber happens to be an all-time fave.)
Example: When a mom loses her cool in the middle of Target and transforms into a she-devil because her children won’t stop fighting. I am not the lady who smiles and nods, knowingly..because we all have been there. Nope, I am the mom who runs the other way, quietly judging the crazy lady in the sock aisle all while telling my kids, “You’re so lucky to have a me as a mommy”.
I am not proud of my behavior…I’m not…because I have not only admitted that I am a straight-up d-bag, but have also admitted to having the sense of humor of a 13 year old boy.
I should definitely not laugh at people who fall, or people with cool whip on their face. I should absolutely not snort when someone is having intestinal issues in a public restroom. And I definitely should not judge when a mother turns crazy in the middle of a discount department store.
Yeah, I’m kinda a jerk. I’m working on it.
But please don’t hate me for too long, because I have something for you.
Remember back in August when I made this cake? It had 2 ingredients and was really delicious!
We’re gonna do that again today. All you need are 2 things…cake mix and a can of soda.
Seriously!
Why in the world would I ever use eggs and oil again?
I saw this idea on Pinterest, but apparently I forgot to Pin it and searching again and again I couldn’t find the source…but I did a quick google search and found that it’s all over, so I don’t feel so bad.
Here’s what you need….
I used Funfetti and Cranberry Splash Sierra Mist. It made the cupcakes a pretty pink color. You couldn’t really taste the cranberry or the Sierra Mist at all. Maybe a stronger flavor soda would give more flavor. BUT it tasted like Funfetti cake, and that’s good with me!
**I know you are going to ask this…I don’t know if this works with diet soda. Well, I am sure it works, BUT after a few quick searches I saw some sites saying it is dangerous to heat up artificial sweeteners…So I don’t know. I mean, if I believed everything on the internet I would be transferring all my dollars into a Nigerian Bank account, chain emailing all my friends so I will have good luck and never drinking pop rocks with soda, which is actually fun and tasty. So with that said, I am not a scientist, I do not know if you will die a slow, painful death if you bake with diet coke…but I do know I am certainly not the person you should be asking about healthy food alternatives…so use your best discretion.
Here’s all you do…
Pour a can of soda into your dry cake mix. Use room temperature soda please.
Using a whisk, mix your cake mix and soda until most of the lumps are gone.
I will look like this…
Fill your lined muffin tins about 1/2 – 2/3 full of batter. You won’t get 24 cupcakes like you would if you followed the instructions. I got about 17. The batter is a slightly thicker than regular cake mix batter.
After you’ve baked them you can see the texture…yum!
And now decorate them however you would like. I made a batch of buttercream and played around a bit.
Cute cupcakes always taste better, I’m pretty sure of it.

Recipe: Soda Can Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix, any flavor
- 1 can room temperature soda, any flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°
- Line muffin pan with liners.
- In a medium bowl combine your soda and cake mix, stirring with a whisk until most of the lumps are gone.
- Fill each liner 1/2-2/3 full of batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until cupcakes are springy and toothpicks comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
Variations
You can use any flavor combination you would like. Coke or Dr. Pepper would be great in a chocolate cake mix. Orange Soda, Mountain Dew, Sprite, Root Beer would all be fun to try too.
Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you are not alone, doesn’t it? 
Well as far as I can tell, you’re still a pretty good person. I mean, it’s not as though you’re scarfing down funnel cakes in front of starving children or anything.
But this is coming from someone who laughs when her son trips and falls, so….
(also, you can totally die from cooking diet soda, I would know. I’m actually a ghost)

I also laugh at the person in the bathroom who is having tummy troubles, you can tell that they are just dying waiting for someone to flush a toilet so no one will hear them. Poor tummy troubled person
Just thought I’d let you know, I’ve done these with diet cream soda and diet orange soda (didn’t have any regular) and they were both FANtastic.
These are great cakes for anyone on Weight Watchers. Using diet soda works just as well and the only thing you need to “count” is the cake mix. Combinations are endless. Yum!
What does it taste like? Does it taste like the usual cake mix cake? I grew up eating cake mix cakes and quite like them. Just curious.
Yes it tastes like a cake mix cake
Would you be able to use sparkling water for the same effect without additional sugars?
Kim recently posted..Homemade Nutter Butters
Tupperware uses this recipe as one of their demos, but they don’t make it as cupcakes (it is cooked in the microwave in one of their products). I have made it several times with a chocolate cake and Coke Zero (all I had on hand). It is also really good with chocolate cake mix and cherry cola. I look forward to trying this actually baked in the oven.
Well, you’re in good d-bag company it seems! I too find all of those things mentioned above, HILARIOUS! If we ever meet in a public restroom, and I have the padoodles, I’ll be sure to laugh right along with you!
Can’t wait to try these cupcakes!
These sound fantastic! And so creative!

i’ve been meaning to try this forever but have never gotten around to it. Maybe I will now.
I have a “friend;” who totally CAN NOT handle people falling. She can’t help but laughing openly and VERY loudly at them. Which in turn makes me laugh and then the person who fell is more than mortified.

Not everyone is perfect and each of us has his own negative side. At least you have admitted that some of your habits are not good. That’s a good sign and that means, you are capable of changing some of those habits. And besides, your recipes are great and is a big plus for a mom like me. I’m sure your kids love your cooking. I’ll try to make some of these cupcakes for my kids.

You would not be able to use diet soda as heating up the aspartame in diet soda turns into a form of wood alcohol, which is poisonous to the human body.
Wow, so easy and so fun! Great recipe!

I’ve made diet friendly cakes like this with diet soda! this looks GREAT Shelly!!
TidyMom recently posted..Epiphany Camera Bag {giveaway}
I make these type of cakes all the time…7- Up and poppy seeds with a lemon flavored cake mix is the favorite! I also do the same basic recipe with a can of pumpkin and a spice cake. 1 regular can of pumpkin puree and a spice cake mix. Easy and delicious! (and low in points if you are doing WW, which I am not! bahahaha.) My mother in-law taught me this recipe years ago. My Grammy make a German Chocolate cake mix with just a can of caramel pecan frosting in a Bundt cake pan. Fabulous also!
I make these all of the time. My favorite combination is diet root beer and spice cake mix – YUM!
I’ve made diet friendly cakes with this recipe–just using diet pop (soda). My favorite combination is chocolate cake and diet dr. pepper. Yumm. I think eating the entire cake negates any ‘diet-friendly’ ideas I have .

I love Sierra Mist Cranberry Splash. I look forward to it every year. For some reason though I’ve only been able to find it at Dollar General, no where else and only in the 2 liters. Where did you find yours?
AT the regular supermarket! I didn’t know it was hard to find!
I want to try this…seems there are so many varieties that can be made…and so simple which is a HUGE bonus. As for being a terrible human being…I don’t think so…people falling just happens to be funny…really funny….like laugh all by yourself funny. Just the way some of us are wired perhaps…
Mighty Morgan recently posted..Red Velvet Cookies
I used to make these all the time when I did weight watchers (without the icing) and I could never taste the soda that was used…although a variation I liked was using sparking water instead of soda to cut out the calories.
What a fun idea!!

Anyone having intestinal issues is just funny to me as well. Down periscope and Van Wilder come to mind after reading your post. Does it make you a bad person, nope, it just means you have a sense of humor and you aren’t a fuddy duddy (I know it’s not a word). I tell anyone that walks with me, if you fall, I’m going to laugh first and then ask if you are ok.
I do this as well, but I use diet soda, and it is only 1 point on weight watchers. Yellow cake mix and diet crush is my fav.
Looking at those cupcakes made me hungry already! Love your blog…. it’s food for the soul.
Kaylee See recently posted..female psychology
I like you. You’re funny. Oh gonna try these cupcakes too.
Kim recently posted..Thankfulness
I think the concern with artificial sweeteners is how the heat of baking will effect them. Some artificial sweeteners, like aspartame, are not heat stable, and thus will not taste the same after baking (it’s the same reason why adding Equal to your coffee works for only a short period of time. If you leave it too long in the heat, the coffee won’t taste sweet). I guess it just depends what kind of artificial sweeteners the diet soda uses. Otherwise, cheers for a fun recipe!
I made rootbeer cupcakes using a yellow cake mix, then I made rootbeer buttercream to go on top. They were a HUGE hit! Everyone loves them.
I can’t wait to try more combinations. Oh, and I LOVE your sense of humor, you and I are a lot alike.
I have made cupcakes and cakes with white cake mix and sprite zero before! And it was so delish!!! I would top with sugar free icing and it tasted amazing and didnt taste diet at all!! you should try it
Ashley Murphy recently posted..How easy?!? Sounds D
I think you are super funny! I was cracking up. I am totally a judger like you! Thanks for the recipes!
Love this! mmmm I once saw a mutual friend @ my job and she was a breastfeeding mother and had leaked, a lot. I did not say anything to her about it and I felt bad about it afterward. All my coworkers were mortified that I didn’t alert her to it. I didn’t know what to say, “Hey, you sprung a leak”. I don’t think so! LOL
I am known for laughing at people who fall; I aided and abetted the nicknaming of an acquaintance, ‘Gravy’, due to the dollop left over on her chin; I cringe and snicker at bathroom noises; I too run from the mom losing control, all the while reinforcing how good a mom I am to my boys. You are not alone!! And I am now sooooo extremely happy knowing I have a room temperature can of Dr. Pepper and a triple chocolate cake mix in the pantry. Now there is dessert for our King Ranch chicken casserole!! Maybe this will be a new Wednesday theme – mid-week dessert!!
these sound amazing!!! so all the mixes i buy are “add eggs and oil” am i subbing something with the soda?
at least for cake mix! Not sure if it would mwork with brownies… Guess I’ll have to try that next!
would this work if I used soda from a 2L bottle and just measured off the same amount that’s in a soda can? or would there is a difference?
great idea, thanks!
I think that would be fine!! NO reason it wouldn’t work
My mom did this with chocolate cake and cherry coke. We could taste that it was different and I certainly don’t like it. Eggs and oil any day please!
I totally loose it when I hear someone talking and they have a lisp. I have had to excuse myself on several occasions because I have, in the past, laughed in peoples faces who have had speech impediments. Can’t help it, I just explode with laughter over speech problems.
Then Angela, I would hate for you to meet my son. He is 22 and stutters.
Thanks for the giggle today. I really needed that. Any I must admit, it was funnier because I also have that evil side within and laughing when I’m nervous or when something is absolutely is not supposed to be funny is what gets me through this crazy life! Thanks again.
soda can cupcakes-my family did not like these cupcakes. They tended to fall apart easily and were too light and airy-didnt seem to have the flavor. I will go back to my usual way of making cupcakes adding pudding.
Was looking through my recipes on Pinterest for something sweet. Ran across this one and thought it would be perfect for our weekly sweet thing. I’ve got it in the oven (as a whole cake) now. I used a lemon supreme cake mix and sprite zero. Looks and smells great. I’m sure it’ll taste as good. My Weight Watchers leader does a very similar one, but she uses more ingredients. Thanks for giving me the ease of use and all the flavor!
Joanna recently posted..The story behind the picture
I tried this several years ago with diet cherry 7up and no frosting, I was on weight watchers at the time (the mini cupcakes were only 1 point a piece). I’m still alive, oh and they were delicious too!
It is really funny that you posted the note about diet soda. I got a recipe from weight watchers years ago for choc cake mix with diet cherry coke and mini choc chips. It also had egg beaters which I always found a little strange but I am totally going to try it with just the soda. I love that it changed the color of the cake without adding food color. Do you think that it would work with flat soda? I am frequently left with soda after my husband is done drinking it because it really isn’t fizzy enough but I wasn’t sure if it would work or if the carbonation is what makes it work.
Alison recently posted..CVS Sunday trip 1/8/12
I think the carbonation has something to do with it…BUT since I am not super sciencey I can’t be sure
If you try it with flat soda let me know how it turns out…
I mean, the most you could waste is a box of cake mix, which luckily isn’t a huge investment!
Super awesome idea. I am a lazy cook so this will fit right in to my cookbook. As for laughing when people fall down? If it wasnt funny they wouldnt have a bunch of tv shows about that very thing would they? And as far as potty humor goes….well that has always been funny hasnt it? Why else would little boys be so proud when they learn to make “toot” noises with their armpits? My only criteria for not laughing when someone falls is by how bad they got hurt and what caused the accident to begin with. But if it was their own fault from something they did? They deserve to be laughed at so maybe they wont do it again!! See? You could actually be helping them!
My sister and I are in the middle of baking these right now! We used french vanilla cake mix and a can of dr. pepper cherry! The soda made the batter pink, and what is REALLY fun is that my mom had heart-shaped cupcake tins, so we are going to have pink heart-shaped cupcakes!
Thanks for the recipe idea! I love simple!

Ok, I am the opposite of you (except crazy mom – I run from her too), but reading about you laughing made it funny to me. I wonder if you reduced the soda a little would it still work? It would definitely increase the amount of soda flavor you could taste.
Tara recently posted..Kirin’s 1st Birthday Part I: The (Actual) Big Day
Super cute! Can’t wait to try these! I have heard about these before, but neer actually did anything about it. Definitely going to try soon!
As I found this on Pinterest, I had to look it up. I am glad I did, I haven’t baked using soda yet, but you gave me a GIANT laugh. I laugh at fall/trips (I truly do care if they are ok, but as someone who can trip over nothing and can laugh at myself, I find it ok to laugh at others), bathroom issues, and run the other direction when I see a wacky mom like that.
I am planning on making a lot of cupcakes this weekend and will be making this one too. What a time saver!!!
Thanks again for the laugh!!!
Hey Shelly! Just wanted to let you know that this idea inspired a sugar-free cake doughnut I posted on my blog {http://www.treatswithatwist.com/2012/02/sugar-free-baked-cake-doughnuts.html}! Thanks so much, I’ve loved reading your baking brilliance!
Fun! Love that!
I made these today and they were great. I didn’t have a funfetti cake so I made my own with a white cake mix and used cherry 7up. I did you your icing but did half and half on the crisco/butter. I just wanted to clarify…you do have to frigerate it or not because of the milk?? Have you ever replaced the milk with water??
The diet soda does work…that is how I make all of my cakes! Keeps them very moist
I was looking for a “special” cake to do for a graduation and came upon this website—–I have now found my newest entertainment. I sat here giggling and my husband had to look at what I was reading. And, oh by the way, I will be trying these cupcakes too!! Thanks.
Your sense of humor is fantastic! I enjoy reading what makes you laugh…..I thought i was the only one who still laughs out loud when I think of the bathroom scene from the movie Dumb and Dumber. Keep up the good work!
First I want to thank you for an easy dessert I can make for my kids. Being a mom of 4 teens, it isn’t easy finding something easy, quick, and tasty. I will definitely be trying this one.
Second, thank you for the laughs. Although I am usually the one in the bathroom stall with tummy troubles, I laugh loudly so that others might not know it is me. Love your sense of humor.
Third, I found your recipe on Pinterest and hope you don’t mind, but I repinned it.
I love this idea..but my cupcake liner falls off! Am I doing something wrong?
That’s one I haven’t’ heard before! What kind of liner are you using? Some are coated which might make the difference
mine totally sticks, what am i doing wrong!!!!!!?
They stick to the cupcake liner? These cupcakes are slightly stickier than a regular, but not enough that there should be an issue…
Found you on Pinterest and am in LOVE! I am going camping this weekend and have been looking for an awesome camping dessert…might have to try this one! It’ll be great not to have to bring eggs, flour and oil or water! Now I just have to figure out what to put them in to cook over the fire ….hrmmmmm

Make this all the time as a cake, but I love your cupcakes even better. Favorite combos are Red Velvet Cake and Diet Cream Soda and Diet Cherry Pepsi and Chocolate Cake. I usually put a spoonful of frozen lowfat Cool Whip on each serving. Almost seems like your having cake and ice cream (Weight Watchers). Use Pam when I make the cakes and never sticks.
Love your sense of humor! Laughed out loud.
I just did this with Monster Energy and did Monster Energy frosting as well and they are SO YUMMY
I ABSOLUTELY love this idea. I’m about to try it with GRAPE soda!! I wanted to go very out-there so we’ll see! I plan to top it with a vanilla buttercream. Here’s hoping it goes well…even if the taste isn’t very strong, the color will be rockin’!
