For my husbands birthday I made the rainbow cupcakes that I showed a picture of in my "Make your own cookbook post" I had lest one of my magazines out on the kitchen table (I think it was a free copy of Parenting) and he flipped through it to show me these yummy cupcakes. Later that night I pulled the page out and put it in my binder cookbook. When his birthday rolled around I made them for him!
They were very simple to do, although they do take a bit of time.
All you need to do is
Mix up a white cake mix and then die it the 6 different colors with food coloring drops. Then layer the colors in the cupcake liners (the recipe says it makes 16 but next time I will try 12). Bake as directed and frost! Simple as that! While not natural at all they are very fun and if you have children learning colors or how colors mix together you can get them involved if you are brave enough!
Here are the food coloring amounts needed:
purple: 9 drops red 6 drops blue
blue: 12 drops
green: 12 drops
yellow: 12 drops
orange: 12 drops yellow and 4 drops red
red: 18 drops

Must be the fact that I was born in the 70s, but a rainbow, in any form, always makes the child in me all giddy! I love your cupcakes!
So cute! I want to make those and always forget, thanks for reminding me :)
