Housewife Fail

Today I wanted to try my hand at haus frau type stuff so I started to make cupcakes..
Decided to get creative, wanted to try cardamom cupcakes with fruit and nuts with a vanilla curry icing.
We like Indian food so why not completely twist it into a cupcake, right?
Bought a box of organic cake mix at Whole Foods, added all the dried fruit, orange peels, cardamom and nuts to the mix, tasted the batter... it tasted a LOT like icing.. looked at the box realized it was a GD box of flippin powdered sugar. For some reason the recipe on the box calling for milk and a softened stick of butter just didn't click that it was a recipe for butter cream frosting. The image on the box is of Yellow Cake and for whatever reason I've never seen a box of powdered sugar sold as "Icing Mix" so I just assumed it was a yellow cake mix.

Basically I had to melt the icing to get all the fruit and nuts strained out. And I just realized that we're out of eggs.
This housewife thing is just not me. LOL

I'll keep trying though...
