Rainbow cupcakes

I found this recipe on the ourbestbites blog and thought it would be perfect to make for my friends St. Paddy's day birthday. The are so vibrant and so fun to make. Top with either buttercream or cream cheese frosting to mimic a cloud at the end of the rainbow and put them in gold wrappers or sprinkle gold dust on top for the "pot o gold" at the end of the rainbow! I used clear wrappers so you could see the design in the cupcakes through the wrapper and it looked fab! Kids will love this!
Rainbow Cupcakes

1 box of any white cake mix ( I used a french vanilla)
1 box of gel food coloring. (the gel is much more vibrant than the liquid)
egg, veg, oil, and water

Follow directions on box to make batter
Separate batter evenly into 6 separate bowls
Use food coloring to create the colors of the rainbow in each bowl ( a reminder, yellow and red to make orange, yellow and blue to make green and red and blue to make purple) also use a lot of gel so the colors are very bright!

Starting with purple use a small spoon to put your first layer of batter in cup. follow with blue then green and so on so red is the top layer. Be very careful when doing this so you dont mix any colors together.

Put in oven and bake according to box
Let cool and then frost!
Voila!!
