Quick and Easy Cupcakes image

This was quick and easy. I used Kittencalskitchen copycat duncan hines boxed cake mix (http://www.food.com/recipe/copycat-duncan-hines-boxed-cake-mix-122139) but replaced shortening with butter and buttermilk with heavy cream and water. Also, I did not sift the dry ingredients. So the cupcakes were slightly dense.
