Warning: These smell as bad as they sound!

Ingredients:
- 1 box Devil's Food cake mix(ie, Betty Crocker)
- 1 can pure pumpkin (15 oz)
- 1 - 2 cups broccoli stems and pieces
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup juice (ie, V8 Fusion Tropical Orange)

Directions:
- Puree broccoli with juice
- Combine broccoli, cake mix and pumpkin and beat with an electric mixer until contents are smooth
- Pour into mini cupcake tins (you will need to use liners as these come out a little bit sticky)
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 mins*
- Feed to your guests.

Yields approximately 72 mini cupcakes. Freezes beautifully.

*The smell while baking is less than pleasant. Sorry.
 
Well just maybe. I am a box cake specialist. I don't know who told me to "come out of the box". I was just fine there and decided I wanted to be like everybody baking from scratch: a pro, but these recent misses are not showing me to be a pro, it's more like very poor.

I really meant that the recent misses are not showing me to be a pro, but rather poor in the way of skills. Poor baking skills. Baking is really not my forte, but since I joined the forum, I decided to put my box cakes aside and step up to the 'baking from scratch' plate so to speak. Anytime it looks different or complicated, I get concern.
 
Hmm, the cupcakes in the photo look delicious and I even seem to smell the aroma of freshly-baked cupcakes. But I am not sure if the kids would like that. One thing is sure, the mere mention of broccoli would be a turn off, hahahaaa. But in fairness to the baker, this is a healthy food that can be utilized for those children who do not eat vegetables, i.e. provided that cupcake has no trace of broccoli taste.
 
Even though they look really good in the picture. The ingredients are a bit too odd for me. I know I would never eat them because my mindset wouldn't allow me too. I wonder what they smell like when they are cooking? I am sure if somebody didn't know what was in them, they would eat them and enjoy them. It is rather interesting though and the first time I ever seen this recipe.
