Lucky Rainbow Cupcakes

I recently made these rainbow cupcakes with the cute kid pictured above, see here. Below is the recipe.

Rainbow Cupcakes can be enjoyed on St. Patrick's Day or anytime you're feeling a little lucky! Enjoy, they are fun to make!

Ingredients:

Makes about 15-24 cupcakes (depending on how full you fill your muffin pans with batter)

• white cake mix (and all the ingredients the cake calls for, eggs, water, oil)
• food coloring
• whipped cream or frosting (I used Rainbow Chip store bought frosting, but you could definitely make your own butter cream)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake batter as directed on the box.

2. Pour batter into six small bowls. Add food coloring to each individual bowl as follows:

Purple: 9 drops of red and 6 drops of blue, blend

Blue: 12 drops of blue, blend

Green: 12 drops of green, blend

Yellow: 12 drops of yellow, blend

Orange: 12 drops of yellow and 4 drops of red, blend

Red: 18 drops of red, blend

3. Spray muffin pan with Pam, evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups, then blue, and so on.  As you go gently spread each layer with the back of the spoon. Make sure not to over fill the cups as your cupcakes with become too large!

4. Bake the cupcakes as directed on the box. Frost once they have completely cooled!
