With nostalgia for my Great Aunt Catherine (she loved the cherry blossoms), I made cupcakes. Of course, you could make these cupcakes from scratch, but in true Aunt Catherine form, I used box mixes! I have great memories of stopping at hot dog carts for a coke and a dog during my last trip with her to New York City. She was always on the move and liked to eat Chinese take-out while reading the paper.
White Cake Mix: substitute Coca-Cola for water, add 5 T Cherry JELL-O powder, follow box instructions.
Frosting: Cockylit is my go-to for Meringue, and I added about 2 t Cherry JELL-O Powder to her instructions.
Together: Cherry Vanilla Coke in a cake with a big dollop of pink sugary protein on top!

These so appeal to my inner junk food loving child! I can’t wait to try them. Also, your photos are lovely, the colors are really popping in these. It makes me think of summer and trips to the beach.
trips to the beach with cupcakes sounds like so much fun!
Cozyposts keep getting better and better! Love the coke bottle blue!
these look soooo fun- wonder if it could be done gluten free
yes, yes! I just read that JELL-O is gluten free, here’s what Coca-Cola says: http://glutenfreeappetite.com/blog/item/coca-cola-gluten-free-edition, and if you pick up a Bob’s Red Mill Box you can do the same thing GF! and if you want to stay away from JELL-O, just use the juice in the jar of cherries for your cherry-ness 🙂 But honestly, I could just dip cherries in meringue frosting all day and be content 🙂
Amy, LOVE your photos as always! Also, I’m waiting for you to publish a cookbook with all your delish goodies in it. 🙂
thank you, Krista! Making a book would be so much fun – I would love to do it sometime.
