I saw some creme cakes in Walmart in the bakery section that were labeled Hawaiian Punch, Dr. Pepper, Orange Crush and a couple others I can't remember. Then I started thinking....Can you put koolaid in cake batter for the flavor and the bright colors? I know there's Hawaiian Punch koolaid mix in the koolaid section of the store too. Anyone ever try this? My wedding anniversary is this week and I think I'll try it. 
That is interesting!! Let us know how it turns out, and how good it was. Good Luck with it!!
Would the regular(sugarless) make the cake taste bitter, since it doesn't have sugar? 
I would personaly look for the sugar added kool
aid mix. I think it's a cool idea. I use Dr. Pepper to make the soda cake. The actual name is Diet soda cake. It doesn't rise like the cakes you're talking about. Let us know how it goes. 
Mmmm.. cherry marshmallow Dr. Pepper cake is really good so I don't see why those wouldn't be! I wonder if they mean the canned drinks. I know hawaiian punch also comes in a can now. 
I'm not sure what site it is, but YES, you can use it definately for color, as far as taste, I agree that it might taste a little off. But wish I knew which site it was that uses the powders as well as the pops. Heard Root Beer was a really good pop to use.
I made Root Beer Float cupcakes once, and they were very yummy. The recipe called for replacing the water in a white cake mix with root beer. For the frosting, you make DreamWhip topping, again using root beer for the liquid. Since the frosting is basically whipped cream, they don't keep very long, though.
WOW! I KNOW THIS ONE!!!! my grandmother used to make Kool-Aid cake. all she did was add an envelope of the kool aid WITHOUT sugar (your cake has enough sugar in it). It will add both flavor and color. she used it to make swirls (like marble cake) which the flavor is obviously stronger if its done that way rather than mixing it in the whole batch. try it first with a cake mix and a kool aid pack (a buck!) that way if you dont like it, it wasnt a total loss. you can experiment with different flavors, but do NOT add more sugar, it would be way too sweet. you can frost or eat alone, its yummy! kind of tart but still sweet. have fun!
What about preparing the kool aid as if you were going to drink it sugar and all and then using it in place of the water??
You can also use kool-aid to flavor your frosting. Cherry kool-aid deepens the red color in frosting and keeps the taste from getting too bitter by using too much coloring. I have not tried using it in the cake batter though. Sounds like a good practice cake!!
