I need help.  I was asked to make pistachio cupcakes....how else would I enhance a cake mix besides adding pistachio pudding to it to give it more of a pistachio flavor?  TIA!!!

I don't use mixes or puddings, so if someone asked me to make pistachio cupcakes, I would use pistachio paste in the cake or filling, and chopped pistachios as garnish.  

pistachio ice cream -- the green part of spumoni is pistachio too

and here's a recipe for mimi's & jeanne's pistachio paste recommendation:
