Rainbow–Tie Die Cupcakes

If you have read Easie Peasie for awhile, you are well aware of the fact that I have wanted to make a rainbow cake!! And I’ve wanted to make one for a looooooong time!! I’ve just never had a reason to! I just love all the yummy colors!!!

Well fabulous peeps….instead of a rainbow cake…I made rainbow CUPCAKES this week! They actually turned out more like TIE-DIE CUPCAKES! Either way…they were SUPER CUTE…SUPER EASY and SUPER YUMMY! Here’s how I made them!!!

R A I N B O W   C U P C A K E S

I used a regular white cake mix, gel food coloring, vanilla icing, M&M’s and rainbow sprinkles.

Mix your cake mix according to the box instructions….

Separate your cake batter into bowls for each color….and then drizzle gel coloring into each bowl and mix away!

They turn out really PRETTY!! Gel food coloring is amazing. It turns out so rich and true to the original color. I wouldn’t use the regular food coloring drops…I’m just sayin’. Lol.

I read on one blog that a lady started with one color and then as she added each color would add smaller amounts. I tried that…and it didn’t really work. The colors just blended anyways!
I LOVED how pretty the batter looked! I made an all-out mess on edges of the pan though…a little Jackson Pollack style!!

Here are a few pictures as I added the various colors…you can see how it starts to blend.

i have done these and i used the ordinary food colouring and they turned out fine.i have the neon colours and the basic ones and neon ones kept their brightness ) they were great,you just have to remember a little goes a long way (cause you don't to water down the cake mix with the food colour)
