Mountain Dew and Doritos Cake

My boyfriend David says that I have odd tastes in food. He often thinks that flavor combinations I think sound good, sound awful.  He says that my tastes in food are "bougie".  According to Urban Dictionary, bougie means "anything that is perceived as "upscale" from a blue collar point of view. 'Bougie' (pronounced boo'-she) is a hacked truncation of the word Bourgeoisie, which refers to the middle-class in Europe, but refers to a more affluent class level in the United States." 

So I have to ask, does the combination of Mountain Dew and Doritos...in a cake....sound bougie to you?

1 box lemon pudding mix

Bake 6 inch cake for 35 minutes or until aa toothpick comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool before frosting.

Mountain Dew Buttercream

4 cups powdered sugar

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

1/8 cup Mountain Dew

1/2 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tbsp lime juice

Beat butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add in Mountain Dew and juices.  Continue beating until smooth.  If consistency is too thick, add Mountain Dew, 1 teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

Top your cupcakes and cake with Nacho Cheese Doritos.  Then, when you taste the awesome flavor combo, accept the fact that you are now, officially, just as bougie as me. Lucky.
