Rainbow Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for Josie's 9th birthday...everyone loved them.  They're fairly easy to make it just takes a while to get each layer into the cupcake liner.

approx. 4 heaping tbsp of batter in each bowl

the finished product....very tasty!





Ingredients


White cake mix (we used an 18-1/4-ounce box)

Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)

Baking cups

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Following the chart below, dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color.

RAINBOW COLOR DROPS OF FOOD COLORING

Purple 9 red and 6 blue drops

Blue 12 drops

Green 12 drops

Yellow 12 drops

Orange 12 yellow and 4 red drops

Red 18 drops

Line 16 muffin pan wells with baking cups. Evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups, then the blue, and so on, following the order shown. As you go, gently spread each layer of batter with the back of a spoon to cover the color underneath.

Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions. Before serving, remove the paper wrapping, and if you like, top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud
