Berry Blue Sharkcakes!

 I am back in action and ready to hit the kitchen.
Also, on a side note my boyfriend got offered a new on Wednesday and we are so excited for him. Congrats Christopher! I love you!

For my first day back in the kitchen I had to come up with a new recipe for cupcakes my dad could take to my brother's school. What could be more fun than bright blue cupcakes? They were a trip down memory lane, first because the smell of blue jello reminds me of swim team days (for those of you that swam you know you loved dipping your fingers in the sugar and licking them off) and second because the sharks reminded me of my elementary school..."we are the Shoal Creek Sharks, we're one of a kind"...yes I still remember our school song...and the hand motions...*sigh*.

Berry Blue Sharkcakes

Cupcakes
1 Box White Cake Mix
3 Eggs
1 1/4 Cup Water
1/3 Cup Oil
3oz Berry Blue Jello

Frosting
3 Cups Confectioners Sugar
1 Stick Unsalted Butter
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract or Vanilla Flavoring
2 tsp. Heavy Cream

Toppings
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
24 Shark Gummies

Combine all cupcake ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and pour into cupcake tins. Bake 16-19 minutes at 350F. Remove from oven and place in the refrigerator until they have cooled all the way through. Make sure you taste test one because they are delightful. Also make sure to put them in the middle of the oven because the jello makes them very sensitive to turning brown.

For the icing you combine all ingredients at room temperature and mix until they are the texture you would like for your icing. Pipe onto your cooled cupcakes and top with brown sugar and gummy sharks!
