Rainbow Cupcakes

Inspiration: rainbow pancakes
Prep: 30 minutes
Cook: 15-20 minutes
Makes: about 15 cupcakes

Description: I have had some fabulous computer problems.  A total rehaul of the computer and some updated software was needed, and now I'm ready to go!

These latest experiments are a bit late. But they were pretty neat so I'm going to post them anyway.  I created these cupcakes for St Patrick's day. They could easily be for a birthday party, a special event, or just because. This did take a lot of time and effort. The kids thought it was great and were surprised that the cupcake matched the frosting.



Ingredients:
1 box of vanilla,butter,or white cake mix
2 cans of vanilla, cream cheese, or white frosting
assortment of food coloring drops (I use wilton gel)
disposable spoons,cups, and/or bowls


Directions:

1.  Mix the cake according to package directions.
2. Separate the batter using measuring cups into  7 bowls or cups.
3. Add food coloring to the batter according to the rainbow colors (ROY G BIV)
4. Put the mixed batter into muffin tins and bake according to package directions
5. Separate your icing into bowls or cups.
6. Mix the food coloring into the icing in the same fashion as the cupcakes
7. When the cupcakes are finished baking and cooled, ice them.
