    While I love making cupcakes from scratch when I can, sometimes cake mixes that already have anything already in it, make life so much easier!  Especially during this chaotic time of the year! Have you ever used one of Duff Goldman's cake mixes before?  His cake mixes already have everything inside so you can make colorful cupcakes without a lot of work!
