Grandma's Birthday

We really really tried to celebrate my Mom's birthday at Disneyland this year with lots of fun, snuggles, a delicious dinner and World of Color. However, she was just too sick to make it and we had to sing to her over the cell phone instead. We ended up celebrating in person ridiculously late.
But, more singing, presents and white chocolate raspberry cupcakes are always fun no matter how late, right?!
White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
1 box white cake mix
1 cup Shasta Raspberry Cream Soda
1/4 tsp raspberry extract (I get mine HERE)
Mix all ingredients together. Spoon into cupcake pan with each about 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
Frosting
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 box white chocolate jello instant pudding mix
1/4 tsp raspberry extract
Whip cream in cold bowl until soft peaks form. Add raspberry extract and powdered sugar slowly and beat until stiff peaks form. Add pudding mix and whip until all incorporated and frosting is stiffer than traditional whipped cream.

  3. It wasn't the party we were hoping for (stinking sickness!), but hopefully she felt loved. And the cupcakes were amazing as always!
