Inspired by Rose's in Hampden, I decided to make my own Jell-O cupcakes for my friend's Ghetto Housewarming/Going Away Party (I won't go into the details of how one can throw a simultaneous moving in-moving out party). At any rate, the Jell-O of choice was cherry flavor -- about 1/2 the pack went into the batter. And instead of Reddi-Whip as frosting as they do at Rose's (which I didn't think would last through hours at a party), I dissolved the other 1/2 the Jell-O in hot water and mixed that into a basic buttercream (sweet butter and confectioner's sugar). Finished off with colored sprinkles of course!
In the spirit of Tony Bourdain, food as adventure. Try everything twice in case it was made wrong the first time. Eat without fear or prejudice.
