This is not news, but in case you didn't realize I will let you in on a little secret. I am a dork. Yep. A really big one too. BUT guess what??? I'm not just any dork. I'm a dork with a really cool new mixer!!! A really cool new Kitchen Aid mixer :) After getting over the shocking price, I think I may be in love. Yep. Now I'm a really big dork who loves an appliance.... an appliance who made these deliciously fruity cupcakes possible. They take a little more time than a typical cupcake (dispensing them into the cupcake liners is a bit of a pain in the tushy), but your family will love you for them. These cupcakes make you look very impressive! I topped part of them with Cool Whip and when it was gone I threw together a vanilla butter cream frosting. Both were delish! Enjoy :)
The dork in question... and her new mixer :)
TIE-DYE FRUITY CUPCAKES
1 pkg white cake mix (I used yellow)
2 1/2 TBSP lime JELL-O Gelatin (1/2 of a 3 oz. pkg.)
2 1/2 TBSP strawberry JELL-O Gelatin (1/2 of a 3 oz. pkg.)
2 1/2 TBSP orange JELL-O Gelatin (1/2 of a 3 oz. pkg.)
Frosting of choice
Prepare cake batter and pre-heat oven as directed on package; divide evenly into 3 bowls. Stir different flavor dry gelatin mix into batter in each bowl. Alternately spoon batter into paper-lined muffin cups until full (you will get 18-24 cupcakes- depending on size). Bake as directed on package of cupcakes (mine took 18 minutes at 350). Cool Completely and frost.
