These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Tie-Dye Fruity Cupcakes

I made these with just one packet of orange Jello (so did half plain vanilla and half with a large box of orange-flavored sugar-free Jello in it) with the Chocolate Spider Cupcakes topping for Halloween ~ Orange Scream-sicle Cupcakes! They were a hit, and the flavor added by the Jello was amazing! I can already imagine future experiments ~ cherry Jello in chocolate cake mix, a berry mix of strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry Jellos in vanilla cake mix, a citrus combination of orange, lemon, and lime Jello in a vanilla cake mix...the possibilities are endless! The Jello gives the cake a bit of a spongy texture, but for cupcakes that tend to fall apart as you eat them, it's actually pretty ideal. Enjoy!



Yields: 20 cupcakes
Time: 30 min (plus decorating time if desired)
Ingredients:
* 1 box white cake mix
* 1/2 of 3-oz package dry Jello lemon-flavored gelatin
* 1/2 of 3-oz package dry Jello lime-flavored gelatin
* 1/2 of 3-oz package dry Jello strawberry-flavored gelatin
* 1  16-oz can ready-to-spread vanilla frosting

Preparation:
1. Prepare cake batter as directed on package; divide evenly into 3 bowls.
2. Stir different flavor dry gelatin mix into batter in each bowl. Spoon lemon batter evenly into 20 paper-lined muffin cups. Repeat with remaining batters, filling cups about 3/4 full. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely.
3. Spread with frosting and decorate (if desired).
