These fun cupcakes are no cake-walk to make. They are by no means challenging in terms of skill, just time consuming.
After you mix up your cake batter either from scratch or from a box, you divide the batter evenly as possible into 5 or 6 bowls.
n each of those bowls, you add food colouring to obtain the colour you desire. I tried to make Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue and Purple. As you can see, yellow and orange mixed together while baking.
After that, you with grease or use muffin cups and scoop a generous teaspoon of one colour in each cup. Then a generous teaspoon of the next colour. And so on and so on, until all the colour are in the muffin cups.
It will look something like this when you are done. Then you bake then in the oven until cooked and the result is this:
12 yummy muffins, 2 very happy children and a LOT of dishes!
Variations on a theme:
You could also layer different colour, like pink, purple, pink purple. or lots of orange and a green top for carrot looking cup cakes etc.
Those look good - I'll have to try them sometime... Check out a rainbow cake recipe from Martha Stewart: http://www.marthastewart.com/256688/rainbow-cake
