Rainbow cupcakes





After a trip to the emergency room on Monday night (thanks to my 2-year old sticking things up her nose), she asked me to make these rainbow cupcakes that we saw online.


I spent the next day hopping from one supermarket to another trying to get right food colouring we needed (I couldnt find the McCormick 4-pack food coloring that we always had stocked up in our pantry when I was a kid) and I also needed a pack of white cake mix for the cupcakes.


They were very easy to make. I just followed the instructions on the back of the box, split the batter into 6 bowls and mixed in the food colouring (one color per bowl). We had pink, orange, yellow, sky blue, apple green and violet.

Then using a spoon, I layered each color into the cupcake liners and baked them! I should have taken pictures of the whole process but i totally forgot to!


The end result??


RAINBOW CUPCAKES!






When you peel off the cupcake liners, you can see how i didnt do such a good job of layering the batter evenly. LOL. oops.


But they were yummy! And it was a nice surprise for a little 2 year old for when she woke up from her nap :)
