rainbow cupcakes recipe

I actually made these last weekend but I haven't gotten around to posting this until right now. better late than never though, right? This was my first try at rainbow cupcakes, so I sort of learned from my mistakes as I went along.

What you need:

  • 1 box white cake mix
  • eggs,oil, & water called for on box
  • 4 or more colors of food coloring
  • 4 small bowls
  • cupcake wrappers









Make cake mix as directed on box
and distribute evenly between the bowls.

Color the batter
add as many drops of one color as you want to one bowl, and mix. use a different color in each bowl.

Add one spoonful of each color to the center of a wrapper
aim for the middle, and try to use the same amount of each color.spread out the color layer if it's off center. use a variety of patterns. (I wish I could rotate that last picture, but blogger has neglected to add that option)

Bake the cupcakes as directed on box

Top with white frosting or icing and enjoy!
I would include the buttercream recipe I used, but it actually turned out horribly gross so I won't let you suffer through that. any other old recipe will do.

with love,
Julia
