This month’s ingredient for Iron Cupcake Earth was Soda.  I let Matty pick the soda and of course he went with Mountain Dew.    I made a lemon Mountain Dew cupcake with strawberry-lemon frosting.  I mixed mountain dew and lemon instant pudding into the batter which made so much lemony moist goodness.  The icing has a bit of mountain dew and hints of strawberry and lemon.  I am not a fan of lemon, but I’m pretty in love with this creation.  The fine print for the contest: Our April ETSY PRIZE-PACK is from artists: • A creation by FRUITFLYPIE, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=16748 • a pair of cupcake earrings from LOTS OF SPRINKLES at http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6057281. • a sweet surprise from Sweet Cuppin’ Cakes Cupcakery, http://www.acupcakery.com/ • PLUS, IronCupcake:Earth can not forget our good friend, CAKESPY, http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5243382, who is now going to be doing a piece for our winner each month until further notice - sweet!
