Berry Patriotic Cupcakes

These colorful cupcakes are always a hit, and the bright pink cake color is fun and unexpected. I garnished with strawberries and blueberries for the 4th of July :)


1 box white cake mix
2 tbsp flour
1 small box strawberry jello
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup blueberries
1 box powdered sugar
1/2 stick butter (room temperature)
4 oz. cream cheese
strawberries/blueberries for garnish.

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Mix cake mix, flour and jello in a bowl with a wooden spoon.  Make sure all the little clumps of cake mix get all broken up.
3. Throw in the water, oil and eggs.  Mix all that together.
4. Fold in the blueberries gently.
5. Distribute into lined cupcake pan.  (I was able to make 26)  Bake for 12-15 minutes.
6. Cool completely.
7. Meanwhile, mix the powdered sugar, butter, and cream cheese in a bowl. Frost the cupcakes and garnish with berries!
