COLORBURST CUPCAKES
I got this awesome recipe from ourbestbites.com. I like to think of them as little rainbow or tie dyed cupcakes. :) I love bold colors so this was right up my alley. They are very moist. Great way to doctor up a cake mix.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except coloring until blended. Then use a mixer on medium speed until all the lumps are gone. Roughly 3-4 minutes.
- Now pick out your colors. Your best bet would be to use gel coloring. The recipe on ourbestbites.com and I used 5 colors. Red, orange, yellow, green and blue. You can mix and match however you want. 4th of July try Red and Blue and plain uncolored white cake. Halloween use orange and black. The possibilities are endless. I used roughly 1/8-1/4 teaspoon of coloring. Change it to your liking.
- Layer spoonfuls of colored batter in your muffin liner. A good trick the authors give from ourbestbites.com is to see how many teaspoons or tablespoons it takes to fill your liner. This will tell you roughly how much batter you can use per cupcake. It will help you make your color choices trust me!
- Bake according to the box. Mine took right around 20 minutes and my cupcakes were 3/4 full with batter.
- Cool cupcakes and frost or leave plain. They look great either way. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix the cake batter according to package directions.
- Evenly divide prepared batter into several different bowls. The amount of bowls will depend on the amount of colors you want for your cupcakes.
- Add a generous amount of gel food coloring to each bowl until you have a vibrant batter.
- I usually mix 7 bowls - red, orange, pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
- Line your muffin tin with paper cups and then begin spooning the colored batter into the cups.
- Add batter color by color, one tablespoon of red in each of the cups, then added a tablespoon of orange on top of the red, and so on until all colors were used. The colors will not "leak".
- Fill the cups approximately 2/3 full of batter.
- Bake as directed on the box.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool completely, and frost to your liking.
- I used whipped cream cheese frosting to give the cupcakes a "cloud" effect.
Tips:
- Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is preheated to the specified temperature before baking. This helps create a consistent baking environment and prevents uneven cooking.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring your ingredients such as eggs, butter, and milk to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more easily and evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
- Measuring Accurately: Use measuring cups and spoons for precise measurements. Avoid scooping ingredients directly from their containers, as this can lead to inaccurate measurements and affect the final product.
- Filling the Cupcake Liners: Don't overfill the cupcake liners. Fill them to about 2/3 full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise during baking.
- Decorating: Wait until the cupcakes are completely cool before decorating. This prevents the frosting from melting and ensures it adheres properly.
- Baking Times: Check the cupcakes a few minutes before the recommended baking time to ensure they are not overcooked. Overbaking can dry out the cupcakes and make them less enjoyable.
