Rainbow Cupcakes (featuring my “new” kitchenaid)

Let’s be honest with each other...I really did this so I could talk about by wonderful new find from goodwill.

This lovely lady

The best money I’ve ever spent at a thrift store.

Anyway, I wanted to give rainbow cupcakes a try!

Pretty simple: pick any white cake recipe. I would suggest only using egg whites though…my color didn’t turn out as bright as I had hoped (which also means add WAY more dye then you think you will need)

Mix it all up, and then separate it unto as many colors as you want and mix in the dye.

I went with 5.

Its much more fun with a helper!

When you pour them in, you can even it out so it makes layers, or glop them for more of a tie dye effect. I even swirled some (not much or else you get ugly brown) with a toothpick in a few to try out different designs.

Then I made a little frosting eyeballing the powdered sugar, butter, milk, and almond. I always use LOTS of almond, just like my grandma told me!

And ta-dah! Pretty cupcakes!
