Pastel Uber Fruity Cupcakes

By SewingDragonfly

From www.food.com. My Notes: I first made these 5/16/10 when John and Nancy were over for dinner. The batter and frosting were thin but both turned out fine. These had great flavor - I wouldn’t change a thing.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake mix according to package directions; adding 4 tablespoons dry Jell-O powder before beating.

You can divide batter and use 2 different kinds of Jell-O; decrease amount to 2 tablespoons to each half.

Bake as directed - about 24 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pans and finish cooling on racks.

Cream butter and water and add sugar gradually; one cup at a time, scraping the bowl after each addition. Add the remaining Jell-O powder with the second cup of sugar when blending. Beat until smooth. Frost cupcakes as desired.
