Prepare cake mix according to the package directions and substitute maraschino cherry juice for a portion of the water.
Fold in chopped maraschino cherries.
Pour into muffin tins and bake for the recommended time (and temperature) as on the cake mix box.

Combine white chocolate and cream in a deep bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir.
Add butter and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir.
Microwave on high for an additional 10 to 15 seconds if needed to let butter and white chocolate melt.
