St. Patrick’S Day: Rainbow Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line two cupcake pan(s) with paper liners (recipe should make about 18).
  2. Prepare cake batter as directed on the box, adding eggs, oil and water into the bowl with the cake mix. Blend on low for 30-60 seconds. Then beat batter on medium for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Separate batter evenly into four small bowls. Using food coloring, tint batter in 3 of the bowls, making each a different color. Leave one bowl with the plain batter.
  4. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, alternating colors. I find they look best when you finish with the standard un-tinted cupcake batter on top.
  5. Bake 15-18 minutes on 350 F. Let the cupcakes cool before frosting them.
  6. Once cupcakes are cool, prepare the green icing. Add 4-5 drops of green coloring into the vanilla icing and mix well. Add additional green drops until you reach your desired shade of green.
  7. Frost cupcakes. I rolled the cupcake edges in green decorator sugar to fancy them up.
  8. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
