What Can I Bring?

Perfect for: Class parties, lunchboxes, birthday parties, after-school gatherings.
Make and take: Because these cupcakes don't have icing, they are particularly easy to transport. Look for disposable cupcake tins at the grocery store and simply wrap the tops with foil after the cupcakes have cooled.
Serving suggestions: A tall glass of milk.
Made famous by: Kay Yowell of McDonough, who said: "This is a simple dessert to carry for any get-together. Everybody loves peanut butter and jelly!"

    1 box yellow cake mix
    3 eggs
    2 tablespoon vegetable oil
