Step 1

Preheat the oven to instructed temperature on the cake mix box for baking cupcakes. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the white cake mix by whisking together the cake mix with the lemon lime soda. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3

In each cupcake liner, pour both the blue and pink batter, alternating, until the liner is ¾ of the way full.

Step 4

Bake cupcakes in the oven for 18 to 21 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then carefully transfer cupcakes to a cooling rack and cool completely.

Step 5

To make the frosting, use a mixer to beat the salted butter until it becomes light in color, about 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the whole milk, lemon juice, cotton candy extract and salt until combined.

Step 6

On low speed, add in the powdered sugar, gradually increase the speed to high and beat for 5 minutes or until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 7

Divide the frosting into two separate bowls and add the blue food coloring to one bowl and the pink to the other. Stir until the color is completely combined and the desired color is reached, adding more coloring as needed.

Step 8

To get a multi-colored marbling effect for your frosting, place both frosting colors in a piping back. Alternate placing large spoonfuls at a time of each color until the piping bag is filled.

Step 9

Use a piping bag and star tip to frost the cupcakes with the pink and blue frosting.

Step 10

Top the cupcake by adding sprinkles and some pink and blue cotton candy, optional. Serve and enjoy!
