Ingredients:

• white cake mix and ingredients needed based on the box instructions
• box of lime jello mix
• water

How to make cherry limeade cupcakes:

First, bake the cupcakes based on the box instructions. Let the cupcakes cool for about 10-15 minutes. Another idea is add lime zest to the cupcake batter.

Second, poke the cupcakes all over. I normally use a fork to do this. You want to make sure that the fork goes all the way to the bottom. This will help the jello soak in every spot once you get to that step.

Next, boil the water and dissolve the jello mix in the water. Use a spoon and put the jello mixture over the cupcakes.

Once you have covered all the cupcakes, put them in the fridge to let the jello set.

Now for the Cherry Frosting Recipe:

Frosting Ingredients:

• unsalted butter
• powdered sugar
• red gel food coloring
• heavy whipping cream
• cherry extract

Frosting Directions:

First, cream the butter and powder sugar together until it looks light andfluffy. If it doesn’tcream to the desired consistency, add several drops of the heavy whipping cream until it does.

Next, add the cherry extract and stir it all together. Go ahead and add the red gel food coloring and mix it together well. If the frosting can form and hold a stiff peak, it is ready. You can test this by taking a spoonful of frosting and turning the spoon upside down. If the frosting stays on the spoon it is ready if not then….Add more powder sugar. I like to do ½ cup at a time until you get the desired consistency.

It is easier to add more than take away so you definitely want to just add a little at a time.

Put the frosting into a pastry bag with a large tip. I like to use these Wilton disposable bags.

It helps to twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the tip. Once this is ready, start frosting the cupcakes. I like to start on the outside edge of the cupcake working to the center of the cupcake.

Finally, this is optional but looks so pretty. Put a wedge of fresh lime on the center of each cupcake. You can also put a cherry on top as well.
