Rainbow Cupcakes


Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I hope you're wearing green.

Of course we had to do something to celebrate.

My daughter loves kitchen crafts so when I saw this in the Family Fun magazine I knew we would be making them.


We had a lot of fun making these tasty little rainbows . . . but they are a little time consuming.


After mixing up our cake mix we divided the frosting into six bowls.  Then we added the food coloring as follows:


Purple: 9 red & 6 blue drops
Blue: 12 drops
Green: 12 drops
Yellow: 12 drops
Orange: 12 yellow & 4 red drops
Red: 18 drops


We then layered the colors in each muffin cup (this was the time consuming part) and ta-da . . .

Rainbow Cupcakes!


Be sure to swirl a frosting cloud on top before you eat them.


. . . And because I really don't want us eating all of them we wrapped some up to take to a few of my daughters friends for a St. Patrick's Day treat.

Happy wearin' O' the green day!

    Those are so cute! Of course, I have enough trouble accurately filling cupcake tins with just one type of batter, so I really don't think I could handle six! LOL
