This past week was my daughter’s birthday and I knew strawberry cupcakes just weren’t my thing, but I wanted pink cupcakes. So I did some searching on the internet and my new favorite pinterest and came up with these multicolored cupcakes. They really are very easy, and you can make them as complex or simple as you want.
First things first, you make a white cake, divide it into however many bowls you plan on having colors for and add some food coloring drops to change it colors. Here I did pink and blue to give that cotton candy look and for each color I used about 5-6 drops of coloring.
. 
Next you put it into the lined cups. A full cookie scoop is probably too much for each color, but about 3/4 scoop is just right. Drop in your first color, and then swirl the second color on top to cover all of the second layer. If you just drop it on top, you’ll get a u-shaped color effect, I wanted flat layers so it had to be gently swirled on top.
I know, I am not the neatest baker, but it does turn out pretty in the end!
Next, bake up your cupcakes as usual frost them up, and see how pretty they turned out! We did do several colors, you can see some of the pink and purple ones too.
Frosted with Salted caramel buttercream frosting, these were awesome! You can use all kinds of color combos…try candy corn colors for halloween or fall parties, rainbow colors for a little girl, or your favorite team colors for a football party. Now, obviously brown should be chocolate, and some colors may require that food coloring gel instead of the drops you buy over the counter. But, mess around with it and see how it goes!
