Taste-a-Rainbow Cupcakes
Ingredients
18 1/4-ounce box WHITE cake mix
Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
Baking cups
Whipped cream (optional)
Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color.
RAINBOW COLOR 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
Line 16 muffin pan wells with baking cups. 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 cake mix box directions. Top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud.
A favorite of kids big and small!

Do not top with the optional whipped cream until you are ready to serve them.

nty - for some reason, putting food coloring in food doesn't turn me on - but that's just me.

Sad but true. Due to children having allergies to this, that and the other thing, treats are no longer allowed in schools.
