Rainbow Cupcakes

I may be a holiday slacker, but any ol’ random day?  I can rock those.
To make these beauties..
Buy a box of yellow or white cake mix.
Gather the ingredients on the back of the box.  You can be normal and include the eggs or do like me and completely forget that you’re out of eggs until you’ve whipped all the children in your house into a colored cupcake wanting frenzy and then realize you’re flat out.  Then get a friend on Facebook to rescue you with egg substitutes like mayo and flax seed.  Flax seed have I not, but mayo, that’s an item I know well.
You should know, the mayo for us made them so soft that they collapsed and I was forced to ice this massive pile of rainbowness.  Oh the horrors.
Mix the mix with the you know.. mixer.
Then divide the batter into however many colors you want in your cupcakes.  I went easy and chose the four that come in the little food coloring boxes.
Color the batter that is now divided into the bowls.
Spray your cupcake pans.
Drip a little of one color into every cupcake holder.
Then drip on top of that another color.
And another.
And another.
I’m not a precise person.  I like precise, but I fail at that.  So I just slopped them in there all drippy messy like.
And baked them.
Cooled them.  Which was extremely difficult to do in this house.
Then iced and sprinkled them.
Then turn the children loose.
And prepare to clean the mess that follows!
It helps if you’re studying colors and the mixing thereof in your art lessons – just for background art, yo?
May you do the same soon!!
