Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size)

1/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
3 tablespoons each lemon, lime and grape gelatin powder
1 can (16 ounces) cream cheese frosting
purple, green and yellow sprinkles
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, oil, sugar and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Divide evenly among three bowls.
2. Stir one flavor of gelatin powder into each bowl until blended. Fill paper-lined muffin cups with 2 tablespoons of each flavored batter.
3. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Frost with cream cheese frosting. Decorate with sprinkles. Yield: 2 dozen.
