I can't take credit for the awesome idea of making Mt Dew cupcakes! But I can tell you who inspired me with hers. Natalie from Bake & Destroy made some and posted the results on Flickr, complete with rad Garbage Pail Kids cupcake toppers!
Since I showed Chris the photos of Natallie's Mt Dew cupcakes, he's been asking me every now and then when I'd make some. I finally bought Mt Dew and Nerds yesterday.
I wanted to try out Natalie's recipe, but she hasn't finished tweaking her from scratch recipe and the original one she tried used cake mix. So I had a hunt around and found this awesome one from Quirky Cupcake.
These are so digustingly good, its almost impossible to describe eating one. Its an explosion of Mt Dew flavour and they're so sweet, almost too sweet, and yet you want another bite. The Nerds on top were just the best touch, maybe I'm biased because I LOVE Nerds. But we're hooked and so are all our friends who got to sample one!
Thanks to my willing victims - the hubby, Karla & Alex, Berry, the Redline boys & Val, Danz, Emz & Logan.
Heres some topped with some tropical fish sprinkles (thanks to Patti!!):

Awesome, I'm glad you were able to from-scratch these babies because everyone always loves them and I hate using cake mix!
I just discovered your blog, and I'm hooked! I'm just a novice baker stumbling along this cruel, cruel blog world of gourmet treats that my palate loathes, and I just wanted to say that your blog rocks.

stay sweet;)
I agree too - your blog does rock. Go you for unleashing cupcakes on NZ! If you opened a cupcakery in Auckland, I would so be a regular. Nice.
