Ingredients

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

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. Purple 9 red and 6 blue drops
  3. Blue 12 drops
  4. Green 12 drops
  5. Yellow 12 drops
  6. Orange 12 yellow and 4 red drops
  7. Red 18 drops
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
