Tomorrow I, along with a bunch of other geeky Seattleites, will be sitting in a movie theater for 15 hours. Yes, we are crazy. We’ll be enjoying AMC’s Ultimate Marvel Marathon: a day of Marvel movies leading up to a 3D midnight showing of The Avengers. If you know me, you know I have a habit of falling asleep in action movies, so I know I need to do something special to stay awake that whole time. Enter Mountain Dew Cupcakes. They’re delicious, they give me energy, and they will help me make friends in the theater. I’ve been given clearance to bring some cupcakes in with me, but if your theater won’t allow them, I recommend this: Bring a baggie of unfrosted mini cupcakes in your purse or coat along with a small container of frosting. But don’t tell them I told you that.
These cupcakes are super easy to make, tasty, and are a great treat for game and movie nights. Like the Marvel wrappers/toppers? You can get them at Williams-Sonoma.
Mountain Dew Cupcakes
Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare cupcake pans with wrappers
Mix cake mix and 12 ounces of Mountain Dew in a bowl with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
Pour mixture into cupcake pans, filling each 2/3 full.
Bake according to the directions on the back of the box, or when a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Using a pastry brush, “glaze” the tops of the hot cupcakes with Mountain Dew. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool.
Frost and enjoy!
Mountain Dew Frosting

Delicious! Will you be seeing The Avengers this weekend?
Maybe it’s best to stick to Marvel superheros for your next party. Except for Thor. That guy gets totally hammered.
