Tie-Dye Fruity Cupcakes



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.

I have to agree, the price is steep but I have never had buyers remorse since buying ours.

I love my Kitchen Aid mixer too. Now you can get the attachments. My favorites are the pasta maker and the ice cream maker.
