\"\"<\/a>We are completely<\/em> excited to be joining the crowd at the end of this rainbow cupcake trend! What is not to like about these bright and secretly colorful cupcakes! I have made Hawaiian Rainbow Bread<\/a> a couple of times after being inspired by Just Jenn Rants’ post, but recently someone<\/em> started making these rainbow cupcakes and everyone online is now trying their hand at them! Finding out who was the <\/strong>person to start this fun trend is like following a treasure hunt of great blogs; so if you know the originator, leave a comment! We have seen them here<\/a>, here,<\/a> here<\/a> and the list goes on!
\n\"\"<\/a>I started with a yellow cake mix made according to directions. Then I separated the batter into six small bowls one for each of the colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. I made each color with a generous portion of gel food coloring. Then using a 1\/2 teaspoonful for each color, I started layering my cupcakes. Notice that when they are cooked the last colors I layered (red and orange) are in the middle and more dominant while the first colors I layered (blue and purple) are curving up the sides of the cupcake. I think if I was less generous with the last colors or used a 1\/4 teaspoonful with each color this wouldn’t have occurred.
\nI think I’m going to top these cupcakes off with white frosting, green dyed coconut, and a pile of yellow Lemon Heads to be the gold at the end of the rainbow!<\/p>\n
