Dollhouse Bake Shoppe is a "one-stop-online-shoppe for all of your baking & decorating needs." They specialize in their original line of Gourmet Cupcake Kits.
Despite being the Cupcake Activist and loving cupcakes, I'm not the best baker. So when I got the opportunity to try out Dollhouse Bake Shoppe's new DIY Cupcake Kits, I jumped at the chance to test my baking skills.
My Confetti Cupcake/Cake Kit included:
My Gourmet Cupcake Kit said it contained "everthing" I needed to create cupcakes "quickly, easily, and affordably." Although I expected to provide milk, eggs, butter, and water myself, I didn't expect to need cupcake liners. Luckily I keep a stock of those in my kitchen for cupcake emergencies. My Gourmet Cupcake Kit yielded 12 cupcakes, about 1/2 the quantity of a normal box mix.
The cupcakes came out of the oven and looked perfect. I had already made the frosting, but I learned from Cupcake Wars to never frost a hot cupcake. After they cooled, I used the decorating bag to pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
Verdict: Delicious! My husband especially liked these cupcakes. He said they even tasted gourmet. I thought he was just saying that to make me happy, but the cupcakes kept disappearing one by one. But he was right: Dollhouse Bake Shoppe's Gourmet Baking Kits uses high quality natural ingredients, yet contain NO artificial flavor, preservatives, trans fat, or hydrogenated oils. You can even use their substitute suggestions to make your cupcakes egg, soy, and dairy free.
The Confetti Cupcake/Cake Kit I used sells for $17.95 and yielded 12 cupcakes, but the kit could also yield 24 mini cupcakes or a single layer 8" cake. I provided 1/2 cup milk, two eggs, 2 sticks of butter, and 12 cupcake liners. The kit I received did not contain cupcake liners, but the Holiday/Seasonal and Themed Cupcake Kits do provide them for you. I would recommend this Do-It-Yourself Cupcake Kit if you are looking for higher quality cupcakes than your normal grocery store box mix and don't want to pay a cupcake shop premium.
