RAINBOW CUPCAKES (TIE-DYED)



Rainbow Cupcakes (Tie-Dyed) image

I got this recipe from a friend a long time ago. These are SOOO fun to make, and the kids love to help. I have made these for St. Patrick's day and added a gold foil covered chocolate 'coin' on top, set on it's edge in the frosting. We also make these for EASTER instead of dyed eggs. I mean, who doesn't like cupcakes??...

CUPCAKES
1 box white cake mix (for crisper colors, use the no-yolks instructions)
FROSTING
1 can(s) premade frosting - white looks best
or
for the best creamy frosting use the following: (tastes like twinkie filling, but not grainy)
1/2 c milk
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 c butter
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the white cake box mix according to the no-yolk (WHITE) recipe
  • 2. get 6 small bowls and divide batter evenly into each
  • 3. add food coloring to make the following colors: purple (blue/red), blue, green (blue/yellow), yellow, orange (yellow/red) and red.
  • 4. line the appropriate # of muffin tin with paper cups. You may want to spray a small amount of non-stick spray into each paper cup to aid in removal after baking.
  • 5. carefully layer each color into each cup attempting to get each layer as much over the previous layer as possible (to the edges). Or if you don't care how straight they are..just HAVE FUN. If you want a more tie-dyed look, once the colors are in the cups, slowly and carefully swirl with a swizzle stick, but no too much, or all the colors will over mix .. who wants brownish green cupcakes??
  • 6. bake according to box mix directions for cup-cakes. while baking - make the FROSTING....
  • 7. FROSTING DIRECTIONS:
  • 8. in a small sauce pan, cook the milk & flour together until a smooth paste forms, STIRRING constantly over medium heat. Remove from heat and LET COOL completely. you may even want to put it in the fridge or even freezer to speed up the cooling process.
  • 9. in another bowl, cream softened butter & shortening together, and gradually add the sugar. Beat until fluffy - this could take up to 5 minutes - but it's well worth the time & effort
  • 10. add the completely COOLED flour/mix paste to the above butter/sugar mixture, and beat until the consistency of whipped cream (this will take a while)
  • 11. add vanilla and mix well
  • 12. spread frosting on cupcakes - store in a closed container in a cool place

I first made these to surprise my daughter & they've been a huge hit ever since! We also used a white cake mix once & made red, white & blue cupcakes for The Fourth of July. You can do so many different things with this. Hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 yellow cake mix
water
oil
eggs
food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. Mix cake mix according to directions. Line cupcake pans with 24 liners.
  • 2. Choose the number of colors you'd like to use & separate the batter into equal amounts. (4 colors, 4 bowls...etc.) Add food coloring to each bowl to create the colors for your tie dyed cupcakes.
  • 3. Starting with the color you want on the bottom, spoon in about a tbsp of the cake batter. Repeat this step for each muffin cup. Move to the next color & repeat. Do not worry if the color doesn't go all the way across....it's cute that way.
  • 4. Layer all colors until the batter reaches 1/2 to 3/4 full. Bake according to package directions.
  • 5. Ice with your favorite icing (we use homemade buttercream)& decorate with sprinkles or colored sugars.
  • 6. ***This can also be used to make a layered cake. Just pour the different colors, one at a time, into the cake pans & bake. ****
