Taste a Rainbow Cupcakes




I made these for Family Home Evening treats. The best part was opening them up and seeing that it actually worked and the colors all lined up beautifully! They were also delicious!

Ingredients
White cake mix
Food coloring (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple)
Baking cups
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions

Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Using food coloring, dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color. I used gel colors for really bright colors.

Line 16 muffin pan wells with baking cups. (I was out of regular cupcake papers so I just sprayed my muffin pans well and they came out just fine). 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, top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud.

(This would be perfect in a Bundt pan- rainbow shape!)
