Ingredients
  • 1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients on back of box
  • 3 packets Duncan Hines Blue Raspberry Flavor Creations
  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • About 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 Baby Bottle Pop in Blue Raspberry
  • Sour gummy worms
  • Bug sprinkles
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with about 18 paper liners. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Stir TWO packets of the Blue Raspberry flavoring into the batter to combine.
  2. Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, about ¾ths full. Bake until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  3. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, milk, vanilla and the remaining blue raspberry flavoring until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, about one cup at a time, until light and fluffy.
  4. Pipe the frosting high onto the cooled cupcakes; sprinkle liberally with the baby bottle pop sour candy and adorn with the gummy and sprinkle bugs. Serve.
