BLUE RASPBERRY FROSTING:

  • 2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 c. butter softened
  • 2 1/2 c. confectioner's sugar
  • 1 (0.10 oz.) packet Duncan Hines blue raspberry frosting creations
  • Wilton royal blue gel food coloring to reach desired color
  • 1 small dab Wilton violet gel food coloring
  • Blue, Green, and White sprinkles for decorating
  • Fresh whole raspberries for decorating if desired

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 regular-size muffin cups with paper liners.
  • CUPCAKES: In a large bowl, beat cake mix, gelatin, water, vegetable oil, egg whites, and raspberry extract, with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally. Using toothpicks, add royal blue and violet gel food coloring, to reach desired color. Using an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to a cooling rack. With a toothpick, pierce the tops of the cupcakes in several places.
  • GLAZE: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and 1 to 2 teaspoons of raspberry extract until the glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle and spread glaze over cupcakes. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • FROSTING: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and blue raspberry frosting creations packet, beat on low speed until combined. Using toothpicks, add blue and violet gel food coloring until you reach the desired color. Continue to beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Frost or pipe cupcakes. Decorate with blue, green, and white, sprinkles or fresh raspberries. Store covered in the refrigerator.
