This is another so 3 weeks ago dessert. I made this along with the pumpkin cake to bring over to my mom’s. I just used Trader Joe’s boxed cornbread mix. Let’s be real folks, I don’t have time to make everything from scratch and sometimes boxed things are better than I could do. I made the cornbread according to the instructions on the box, then I put them in these little paper cups (filled up halfway), and baked them until they were a golden brown and my toothpick came out clean. After which, I inserted a toothpick in the center to make a little hole and then filled each hole with some honey. I made sure to do this while the cornbread was warm and still fresh out of the oven. Then, I made whipped cream with a bit of honey put in and voila! I topped my tiny cornbread cupcakes with the whipped cream and brought them to my mama’s house.
My mom was ooh-ing and ahh-ing over them, but it really wasn’t me, it was Trader Joe’s. With Christmas around the corner, I better get my holiday baking list ready. I’m thinking a Mexican chocolate cake is necessary to go with some fresh tamales. I’m hungry just thinking about it! What type of desserts do you eat for Christmas?
These look absolutely precious. May have to make a trip to Trader Joe’s and whip up some of my own!
what a great idea! we love cornbread so I’ll have to try it this way!
Sounds Delish!!!
We just make sugar cookies from scratch and maybe some bread pudding.
Small family of 5 and i am the only adult that likes sweets. :/
You clever lady! What a great idea. I think TJ’s cornbread is incredibly sweet anyway — makes a better cupcake than bread. These sound delicious!
Where do you find those cute little paper cups?!
They look grand!!!
What a great idea! They look delicious!
so cute! where did you get the paper cups?
These sound delicious! I use cake mix when I bake too, it’s just so much easier, and always turns out much better than if I’d made it from scratch 🙂
The honey sounds like a delicious addition, I may have to give it a go xx
