1 chocolate cake mix
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tbsp. flour
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. vegetable shortening

Make cupcakes as box directs. After they are cool, cut out the center on top and set aside. Cut this piece in half (these will be the wings).

Mix and cook milk, vanilla, flour and salt until thickened. Let it cool. (Do not put in refrigerator.)

Beat butter, sugar and shortening until creamy. Pour in the milk mixture and mix until creamy (this takes a long time). Add chopped walnuts if desired.

Put this cream mixture into the holes on the cupcakes and put the wings on. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
