Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, Line a muffin tin with liners. Mix up cake mix as directed on box, you know the routine, eggs, oil, water, whatever. Now separate half of your batter to a separate bowl. Add Jello mix to remaining batter and mix. Now time to dish it up. Spoon some white, then some color, then more white, then more color. Do not overfill, about 2/3 full should be good.
Step 2
Bake for 16-18 minutes, watch them carefully, these burn easily. Use a toothpick to test for doneness. For Buttercream-Sift Powdered sugar to remove any lumps. Beat shortening and butter till creamy and smooth. Add in vanilla, beat again. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time, making sure to combine completely. Once all sugar is combined, add your milk. You've got your basic buttercream. So make it fun. Add some Jello. The amount of Jello won't change your color very much but it will change your taste, if you want just a light flavor, use just the 1 tablespoon, if you want some bang, use more. Take a little taste, adjust, taste again, then frost.
