Mountain Dew Cupcakes – YUMMM

I am SUPER excited how these cupcakes turned out.  Other than Orange Crush I also love Mountain Dew. 🙂 I wanted to try a new frosting technique as well I have read about. Since the only people eating these were my family – I was less nervous to try new things.


Once I mixed up the batter (recipe at the end of this post). I like to use an ice cream scoop to get the same amount of batter in my cupcakes. My cupcakes using this method in my convection oven bake in 13 minutes even.

Once they were baked and cooled time to frost them.  (Recipe for frosting at the end of post as well)

I put my frosting tip into my frosting bag and stood it up inside of a glass to help support it.

I used green and yellow coloring gels. These are my favorite ever!!

Using a brand new clean brush- I painted stripes into my frosting bag. 2 green 2 yellow then added my frosting into the bag.

Here is a quick view of it filled with frosting.  As it comes out it will pick up the colors off the bag.

I frosted my cupcakes as usual and they came out looking really nice. Just the perfect touch for my Mt. Dew cupcakes.

They tasted as good as they looked. 🙂

This recipe is super easy.

    Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I made these cupcakes this past weekend for my husband’s birthday. We went to his parents’ home for his “birthday dinner”, and they were a hit with his entire family.

    Thanks again!! I will be definitely making them over, and over, and over, etc.

    Do you make the pudding and add the pudding to the batter or just add the pudding mix powder to the batter?

    March 15, 2012 | 8:05 am

    Pam sorry I use a large box of pudding.

    Kim- no I just dump the pudding mix into the cake batter. I don’t make it according to the pudding box. Just throw the powder right into the batter 🙂

    My husband turns 35 on Wednesday and I am so making these for him. He is a Mt. Dew addict. He literally drinks a case a week! I looked at a lot of other recipes but this seemed to be the most simple and easy to follow. Not to mention pretty!

    I made these and they turned out very tasty. I screwed up the icing, but I’m attempting these cupcakes again tomorrow.
    I was wondering, what is the point of the lemon pudding mix? Is it added for texture?
    Lastly, I was thinking if only Pop Rocks made a lemon or lime flavor! Sprinkling them on the top of the icing at the last minute before serving would be awesome! Would totally give it that fizzy, poppy, soda feel.
    Thank you so much for the idea, my boyfriend loved them on his birthday!

    This is a great recipe, however, when i tried to make it i didn’t really think about the altitude differences… Do you have any ideas about what could be done to correct for high altitude? The cupcakes came out flat. 🙁 but they still tasted good. 🙂

    I am sorry you are wrong sir. This is my recipe. I often take cake mixes and different flavorings and substitutes. It is fairly easy to change up pudding mixes and substitute liquids for other liquids. I won’t be the first person nor the last to do this, I simply blogged the recipe that I personally made for my family and friends and shared it on my blog for people that are just now starting to learn or venture out in substitutions with cake mixes. But thanks for your opinion, even if you are wrong. 🙂

    Would cook and serve pudding mix work? They didnt have lemon flavored INSTANT at the two markets I tried. 🙁 Thanks for your input!
