Rainbow Cupcakes

One of the most time-consuming projects I undertook for my sister's bridal shower was these rainbow cupcakes. I knew they'd be perfect for the event, but they took a little more work than I was anticipating. Thankfully I had Macy and my mom to help--both with the cupcakes and watching over William. Here's the final product:


And on the inside:


Totally worth all the effort. And really, making them was quite simple--just tedious. Having a glass (or two....or three) of wine while working on this project is totally advisable.

All you need for this project is a basic white cake mix and food coloring. Divide the batter equally into six bowls and color each bowl to the desired shade. Then layer the colors into a cupcake tin, being sure to spread the batter out to the edge (of course, if you don't care about trying to create even lines, you probably wouldn't have to spread the batter). That's it!




As I mentioned though, in spite of the directions being very simple, the actual process is quite time consuming. The cake recipe we used was fairly sticky, which made it hard to spread (although maybe all cake batters are a little sticky? I don't make cake very often). Plus the whole process of divvying up and coloring the batter takes a little bit of time. But are they worth it? Totally.
