Are you all able to get honeycrisp where you are?
The honeycrisp was developed at the University of Minnesota and let me tell you, I made homeade apple pie for my dad and he said it was the "best" apple pie he has ever had. And then said don't tell mom!

Becky,
I used the the lemon cake mix for the first thing I did in my silicone pan....they were wonderful! It makes 24 cupcakes so you have to do 2 batches....I also used the glaze - I started out drizzling it over, and then ended up dipping the tops of the cupcakes in the glaze...that worked sooo much better! The entire top was covered with glaze, with some running down the sides a bit, and the floral design showed thru beautifully. It ended up with more glaze per cupcake that way, and alot less drippy mess! (and there was plenty of glaze for all the cupcakes)

Awesome!! Thanks, Becky, and to Val for your suggestions! I'm definitely going to make these. Maybe even for a couple booths I have coming up in the next few months. I bet they freeze well too. When I used the Lemon Cake Mix when it came out, I followed the directions for making them inthe mini muffin pan and froze them. They defrosted great and you couldn't even tell!
