Adding food coloring to cupcake batter makes these sweet treats even more intriguing!
Summer is almost here! As a way of USHERING in my favorite season, I decided to experiment with simple cupcake batter in attempt to create tie-dye cupcakes. Of course, homemade cupcake batter and frosting are a better choice than the store-bought versions I OPTED for, if you’re not pressed for time. Either way, have fun mixing colors and letting your inner-kid come out! They scream 70’s and all hippies will surely RESONATE with their psychedelic flare.
Ingredients: 1 package store-bought cake mix and the ingredients that it calls for on the back of the box, frosting, and an assortment of food coloring.
Preheat oven according to instructions on back of box. Mix together all of the ingredients.
Evenly distribute the cupcake batter into bowls. I decided to divide the batter into three bowls so I could have three different colors, but you can use however many or little as you want.
The fun part! Add food coloring to each of the bowls of cupcake batter. This really tests your knowledge of color mixing!
After placing cupcake tins into muffin holders, pour the different colored batter over each other. Do not mix the colored-batter together!
Bake the cupcakes for the time instructed at the back of the cupcake-mix box. I chose the keep my colors light and subdued, but feel free to create bright and psychedelic cupcakes!
After frosting your cupcakes to your liking, enjoy!
Happy almost summer,
Charis
