1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line pans with cupcake liners or use soufflé cups like I did.
-
2. Sift cake mix into a small bowl and set aside.
-
3. In a large bowl, use a whisk to gently combine eggs, oil, milk, sour cream and vanilla extract.
-
4. Add cake mix and stir until smooth.
-
5. Fill cupcake liners ¾ full and bake for 15-20 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
-
6. Frostings: Beat butter for 2 minutes and scrape down the sides of your bowl. Slowly add powdered until you reach your desired consistency. Add a little milk if it become too thick.
-
7. Use three small bowl and divide up your frosting evenly into each one. Add a different gelatin flavor to each bowl and mix it in. Taste and add more gelatin it needed.
-
8. To assemble, pipe a strip of yellow frosting across a cupcake. Use a knife to smooth it out into a sort of Mohawk on the cupcake. Roll the top of yellow Mohawk into your yellow sprinkles.
-
9. Next, pipe red frosting on either side of the yellow strip. Use your knife to smooth out the frosting and fill in the needed area. Roll the red frosting into a small bowl of your red sprinkles. (The red sprinkles will not stick to the yellow area if your yellow area is fully covered in yellow sprinkles.)
-
10. Repeat step 9 using the blue frosting and blue sprinkles.
-
11. Once the cupcake is completely covered in sprinkles, use your clean hand to round out the top of the cupcake and to smooth the edges between each flavor Mohawk.
