Ingredients

• 1 box white cake mix
• egg whites, as called for on the box
• vegetable oil, as called for on the box
• lemon-lime soda, substituted for water on box
• 3 tbsp maraschino cherry juice
• 10 maraschino cherries, plus more for garnish
• 2 oz cream cheese
• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350. Grease your Cake Boss Mini Flower Cake Pan and set aside.
• Follow the box instructions for the cake batter, substituting lemon-lime soda for the water. Add in cherry juice and mix well.
• Pour batter into greased cake pan. Drop one maraschino cherry into the center of each cake.
• Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
• Let cool in pan for 15 minutes then transfer to a cooling rack.
• In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese and butter on medium high for 2-3 minutes or until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
• Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar. Mix well.
• Add the milk and combine until there are no lumps and mixture is runny enough to pour but thick enough to coat the cakes. If your mixture is too thick, add milk in 1 tsp increments until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.
• With cakes still on the cooling rack, place parchment or wax paper underneath to catch excess glaze.
• Spoon glaze over cakes so that it runs down the sides. Let glaze set and thicken for about an hour.
• If desired, add a cherry to the top of each cakelette for garnish. Note: I used a toothpick to keep my cherry garnish in place. If serving to children, you may want to omit the toothpick.
