I'm sure kids will LOVE it!
How fun to match the color to the holiday, cherry for Valentine's and lime for St. Pat's sound great.
This is a really fun project for a snowy day with the kids! (Yep, this pic is on my snow covered picnic table.)
They'll be wide-eyed just watching the jello turn from red liquid to pink marshmallow fluff.
It's a very light, silky icing that has the faint flavor of the jello.
I used cherry, the color is bright pink with little flecks of red-very pretty!

Coleen suggests this is best eaten the day it's made-not a problem.
Notes: Try to not let the cupcakes touch, the icing will stick to each other and break off.
Different jello brands (Royal, etc.) do not come in 3oz packs, so be sure to get the Jello Brand.
Jello Frosting
3 oz package Jello (pick your flavor/color, not sugar free)
2/3 C sugar
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 C boiling water (must be boiling to dissolve the sugar)
- Put everything except boiling water in the metal/glass bowl of your stand mixer fitted with whip attachment.
- Turn the mixer to high just as you add the 1/2 C boiling water.
- Whip on high for five minutes. I literally used a timer and #10 on my KitchenAid.
- Will frost 24 cupcakes or 9x13 cake.
Have a sticky sweet, happy day:@)

I've never heard of jello frosting. Frosting....Jello....what's not to love!
This is an interesting recipe for frosting. I will check out Colleen's blog. Your cupcake is iced perfectly, I might add. xo
Beautiful photographs!! I'm glad you enjoyed the recipe.
Looks like it makes a beautiful frosting. Great idea for the kiddies, too!
Veddy interesting! I'll have to give this one a try myself!
This is the coolest frosting recipe I've seen in a long while. It looks so light and fluffy. I can't wait to make this.
Cute cupcakes! Something to keep in mind when my Grand gets old enough to join me some kitchen fun!
Bravo for you for following recipes for I cannot do it no matter how hard I try. The cupcake is darling.
ummm, can;t wait to try this...

Who knew? Jello frosting! Looks so good!
Hi Lynn,
that looks fabulous and makes my mouth watering. Thanks for sharing.
best greetings, Johanna
Wow... I am gonna try this. Thanks. There was just a little snow here..but better then none.
Oh my gosh - what a neat recipe - thank you. sandie
This is new to me and it looks So good!! You braved the cold for a snow picture! That a girl!!
XO,
Jane
this recipe looks fantastic. Can't wait to try it ...and share it!
It looks great! I will try it. Did it hold its shape well , or does it deflate quickly? I would think the gelatin would help it hold up.
Did you get the snow? We got 6 inches.
Jello frosting, so cool! It looks great, love the color.
Hi Lynn, I am sorry I haven't been to visit. I have had company for two weeks. Sigh! no time for my blog friends. I have missed you.
This is the neatest idea for icing and it looks like it came right from the bakery. Does it need to be refrigerated? Beautiful in pinl.
Hugs, Jeanne
Very pretty! I remember making 7 min. icing years ago, before I married a diabetic. *sigh*
I will share a link to your post with my DD...those g'kids will gobble these up.
Thanks!

This is a great idea! At last - a frosting without butter!
Thanks for sharing the Jello Frosting. It looks great.
Ooo...this is like the white frosting I love, only with flavor and color. I'll try this one!
I never knew jello could be made into frosting! It looks delicious. I will save this to try making with my grandsons one day when they are a little older.
How unusual and it looks so soft and fluffy and I am sure delicious. I haven't heard of it before. I am going to have to pin this one. Sorry I have been missing in action, I haven't been home a spare minute, but I am back for a while. It sure made dreary January go quickly though!
I can't wait to try this!!
YUMMMMM...i keep coming back to this post.
Can I use sugar free jello and splenda? Will it hold up the same?
This is gorgeous! something new to me that I look forward to try.Please visit and follow my blog delightsofculinaria.blogspot.com
SO PRETTY AND SO SO SO FUN! who would have thought jello could do that? or at least, look like that, ha. i am now in love with the idea of fruit flavor packet frosting!

This looks devine!

So was it just regular sugar? Tried this with my kiddos today and it didn't turn out. Thinking maybe powdered sugar might have worked better? Followed instructions exactly...
Yep, regular white sugar and not sugar free jello. Very important to use boiling water, a stand mixer on high and the original poster said don't use a plastic bowl. Sorry to hear it didn't work out, mine was done in 5 minutes on high.
I am trying this tonight! Looks so good!
Oh my. These are beautiful. I could help you eat some...
I love this! We just posted our very first Kitchen Fun and Crafty Friday Link Party and we would LOVE for you to stop by and link this up! http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2012/02/kitchen-fun-and-crafty-friday-link.html
