Mardi Gras King Cupcakes Recipe
Directions
  • Place a cupcake paper in the muffin tins for 24 cupcakes. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Combine the cake mix, sour cream, canola oil, sugar, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low for 30 seconds and then for 2 minutes on medium.
  • Divide the batter evenly into three smaller bowls. Add 3 tbsp. of lemon gelatin to one of the bowls, 3 tbsp. of lime gelatin to a second bowl, and 3 tbsp. of grape gelatin to the third bowl of batter; stir until the gelatins are well blended with the batter.
  • Fill each of the cupcake papers with two tablespoons of each of the three different flavored batters.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool for 10 minutes in the tins; then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Frost cooled cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Use canned frosting or use your favorite homemade cream cheese frosting recipe.
  • Sprinkle the frosting with yellow, green and purple colored sugar.
