No, Giada! No!

While I'm still sick, cranky, and very whiny from this virus from hell that I've gotten...I admit I've been sitting on my butt alot watching Food Network. Yesterday, in a rerun show from last year, Giada showed Kid-centered Food in a meal it looks like she prepared for her nieces and nephews. Not quite sure because I didn't get in on the first of it.

The part I saw was where she put together cupcakes from a boxed mix, which is fine. I have no quibble with that if it's done right.  The cupcake papers she used were adorable! Little scalloped edges with a flower-ish pink and red design. So cute!  She filled the cups up 3/4 full and then said "Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes."  What the hell?  25 minutes for a cupcake?
