This would be a great idea for St.Patrick's Day if you did the whole rainbow. I made these cupcakes for Mardi Gras yesterday and they turned out super cute. The easiest recipe I found was from the
Family Fun website.
RAINBOW CUPCAKES
- Ingredients
- White cake mix
- Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
- Baking cups
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Instructions
- Prepare your favorite white cake mix according to instructions on box, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Following the chart below, 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 recipe directions. Before serving, remove wrapper.
I made these last year with my kids and they loved them and are asking for them again this year. Thanks for jogging my memory!! I had totally forgotten about making them again this year.
