My son thought these were pretty cool to make since the jello turns the dough colors, pretty fruity-not traditional for a cupcake but a good alternative! made these for mardi gra themed camping weekend, and gave away plenty! couldnt find any purple sprinkles where i live though

I have made hundreds of these...some all green (green gelatin) for St. Patricks Day, etc. I made them again this weekend...needed lots of mini cupcakes...like about 1500 for a party, so I made several kinds of cupcakes including these in a few "jello" flavors. I really like lime jello with fresh orange juice flavored cream cheese frosting colored green...nice citrus flavors...adults eat as many as kids. Easy to make. One batch makes about 75 mini cupcakes. Just fill papers 2/3 full or this extra sticky batter will rise up and stick to the pans. These cupcakes keep well for 4-5 days. Sometimes these cupcakes sink in the middle, but that's ok..I just filled the middle with frosting and they are great...have a slightly chewy texture from the gelatin...a nice alternative to the regular cupcake texture.

Using the gelatin is a good way to get fruity flavor. Now I want to know where to find the nice cupcake liners in foil colors? (in BC, Canada)
