Rainbow Cupcakes

Well friends. I sent my camera in to be cleaned and I am surely missing it. Since I have no fresh pics ready to share, I thought I would dig through my pics from last year and share a fun rainbow cupcake idea that might be fun for your St. Patrick's Day parties this year. These are super easy and cute.

 First, start out with a simple white cake mix prepared as normal.

 After mixing up batter, separate evenly into different colors. I did the standard red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

 Next, line your cupcake pan and start spooning in layers of batter. I started with red and moved up from there.

 Slowly add in spoonful layers as you go. Try to keep your scoops the same so you don't run out of 1 color before you get them filled!

 This is what mine looked like before baking.

After they are cooled, top with your favorite frosting, I'll share the recipe I use, I think its wiltons:

Buttercream Recipe

1/2 Cup butter

1/2 Cup shortening

1 tsp vanilla

2 Tbsp Milk

4 C. Powdered sugar

Whip, Whip, Whip!!

Here is the delicious result. Sooo yummy and kids love 'em!
