Rainbow Cupcakes

Yum!





mix up a box of white cake mix.
preferably a recipe that uses egg whites and oil instead of butter
(your colors will come out better and cupcakes will brown less.)

divide batter into bowls






add your food coloring.
used McCormick's
neon pack for my pink, green, blue, and purple.
then mix the neon pink
with the yellow from the original pack to get my orange.
this is really just a guestimate until you get the desired colors.







line your muffin pan with cupcake wrappers.
use silver cupcake wrappers to make "surprise" cupcakes
and white/clear wrappers for the rest of the cupcakes:





using a fork or spoon drizzle each color on top of the next.
use forks because it will give you more control.
do not try to spread the colors out on your own
(it will cause your colors to mix).





purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink







bake (as directed on your cake mix-i baked about 21 min.)
let cool and frost them if you like.






even the wrapper is pretty!




enjoy!
