Check These Out.....

Aren't they cool? I made these for my daughter to take to school for her birthday. I knew I wanted to make cupcakes, but I also knew I wanted to jazz them up a little bit. So I googled cupcakes and happened to find these. It's really easy to do.

You just make the cake mix like usual. Divide the batter by however many colors you are going to use. I did 4 colors and it was a little over a cup for each color. Then you add your food coloring. You have to use gel food coloring though.....to get the vibrant colors. Wilton makes it and you can find it at Walmart or Michael's in the cake decorating section...I even found it at my local grocery store, and I live in a very small town...lol! I used a 1/4 tsp of coloring for each color. Then you just layer each color in the cupcake liner, and bake as usual...its very easy...and Oh so cute!!!!!

The cupcake in this picture has hardly any frosting on it...it was for my 2 year old....and it was also 8:00 at night..lol! The ones I frosted later had a generous amount of frosting on them...lol! I thought they turned out pretty cute though.......
