Rainbow Cupcakes

I teach in the Rainbow Room at school, so when I saw these rainbow cupcakes in the latest issue of Family Fun (yes, I am a subscriber) I knew I had to make them. They came out beautifully but took a lot of effort. First, make cupcake batter and seperate into six bowls.

Color each bowl with food coloring:

Purple: 9 drops red, 6 blue

Blue: 12 drops blue

Green: 12 drops green

Yellow: 12 drops yellow

Orange: 12 drops yellow, 4 red

Red: 18 drops red

Starting with purple, spread a small amount of batter in each cupcake liner. Spread each color so that it covers the color underneath it.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove cupcake liners.

Beauuutiful!

 Enjoy!
