Miko's Rainbow Cupcakes

I've been bad.  It's been a month since my last post.  I've just been kind of busy and uninspired, so I asked my beautiful daughter Miko to write a guest post about her very cool cupcakes.  Thank you, Miko!!

Why hello there.

This is Miko, and I'm here to tell you about my Rainbow Cupcakes. Inspired by YouTube videos and pictures on Tumblr.

So OBVIOUSLY the things you need to make these cupcakes are:

1. White cake mix (It's really cheap. You can get it for like. $0.96 at WalMart.)
2. Food color/dye/whatever you want to call it. Whatever floats your boat. You need Red, Blue, Yellow and Green. You can mix colors to make Orange and Purple.
3. Frosting if you wish, I didn't use any.
4. Six red plastic cups, paper bowls, etc. I used paper bowls because we didn't have any red plastic cups. 

So basically, the procedure goes like this:

1. Make the cake batter according to the directions on the box. Because they usually put the directions on there. Yanno.
2. Evenly divide the cake batter into the six plastic cups/paper bowls/whatever you choose to use.
3. Put all of the food dye colors into the designated bowls. You can mix Red and Yellow to make Orange & Red and Blue to make Purple.
4. Put your cupcake liners in a muffin pan. Evenly put in each color of the rainbow, starting with Purple and ending with Red (or…. pink. Whatever it turns out to look like.) 
5. Once all of your batter is in all of the cups, put the cupcakes in the oven and cook them for the required time. 
6. Take them out and enjoy!

When I filled the cups up with the batter, I filled them to the top. So when they came out they looked kind of…. Round? I guess. But anyways, always make sure to LET THE CUPCAKES COOL after you bake them. Because obviously they will be hot and you don't want to be dumb like me and take one right away and burn the whole right side of your mouth, do you? 

The cupcakes were very pretty and I recommend making these. They were kind of hard to make, but overall it was worth it. If you fill them to the top like I did, the whole box of cake mix will only make six cupcakes, so make sure to fill it about 2/3 of the way. 

Thank you for reading, Bye!
