"big fail.....the cupcakes were fool proof. but the frosting was a disaster. Be really careful to not put in the jello for too long in the fridge once it gets too "solid" it clumps with the coolwhip cr..." See moreeating this weird pink batter. I had to run to the store to buy a can of frosting. Maybe a electronic hand mixer would help."
