How can anyone resist a cupcake, let alone a most colorful one like this? I have to admit it, I ate one. I am going to bring the rest to work with me tomorrow though so I can't have any more of them, they are sooooo not on my diet.
There isn't a whole lot to making these recipe wise, just a white cake mix, then separate into 6 equal amounts I found this to be a little over a half cup each. Dye the batter, then dollop about 3/4 tablespoon of each color layered over one another. Follow directions for baking off the back of the box. What I will provide you is the amount of dye for each color. I was impressed by how vivid they turned out!
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
The reason for a bit more in the red is it will come out pink otherwise. I had just enough to scrape the bottoms to make 16 cupcakes total. Frosting choice up to you but white would be good so it doesn't overpower.
Here is what the batter looked like dyed. I remembered to take a pic at that point!
