Tie-Dye Cupcakes

Tie-Dye Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix
• red food coloring
• blue food coloring
• green food coloring
• yellow food coloring
• 1 (16 ounce) can of vanilla icing/frosting

Directions:
 Preheat oven to according to box directions. Prepare the cake mix according to box directions. Divide the batter evenly in 6 small bowls. (I only used 3 bowls of batter). You will dye each bowl individually. To make the colors, use the following amounts of food coloring. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowls to get all food coloring mixed together. Coloring mixtures:

Purple: 9 red + 6 blue 
Blue: 12 blue
Green: 12 green
Yellow: 12 yellow
Orange: 12 yellow +4 red
Red: 18 red 

After you have mixed the batter colors, line 24 muffin cups. Evenly distribute the batter between the cups in the order that you dyed them, layering them carefully. You can use about a half of a spoonful of each color per cup. Frost with white icing and add rainbow sprinkles. ( I colored the icing also).

This was a very fun project to do with a 12 year old.
