Cupcake Rainbow Directions
Prepare your boxed or homemade cake batter. Pour 1/2 cup of batter in 6
different bowls. Color each bowl of batter a color of the rainbow by
adding one or two drops of gel food coloring. Stir color into batter
until completely blended.
Prepare your muffin pan by placing liners inside each cup or greasing
each cup.
Add one color of batter with a spoon into each muffin tin. Start with
purple if you'd like to mimic a rainbow. Spread the batter to reach the
edges of the pan or shake the pan gently to settle the batter.

Continue with each color:
1st purple, then blue, green, yellow, orange and red on top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of
your cupcakes comes out clean.
Allow to cool. Frost or eat as is.
