Rainbow Cupcakes Recipe

This post may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Make sure when you head out to the store this week - you pick up all the supplies needed to make these Rainbow cupcakes! They are so cute - aren't they?
It is a tradition in our house to make them every St. Patrick's Day!
I will warn that they are a tad time consuming...but turn out great!

Recipe:

Ingredients
White cake mix (we used an 18-1/4-ounce box)
Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
Baking cups
Whipped cream (optional) * I use whipped cream frosting!

Instructions
Prepare your favorite white cake mix, 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 the paper wrapping, and if you like, top each cupcake with a whipped-cream cloud.
