Tie-Dye Cupcakes

A fun way to jazz up vanilla cupcakes, making each unique one even more exciting to bite into!

Serves: 18 cupcakes

Prep Time: 15-20 min

Cooking Time: As suggested on box or recipe

Ingredients

1 box of vanilla cake mix (usually requires eggs, oil and water) or favourite vanilla cupcake recipe (vegan, gluten-free etc.)
gel food colouring - 5 or 6 colours.
buttercream icing or substitute
sprinkles and gummy candy, for decorating

Directions

1. Prepare cake mix as directed on the box.
2. Divide equal amounts of mix into separate bowls depending on the number of colours you are using.
3. Add different food colouring to each bowl and mix well, using separate spoons.
4. Place paper liners in a muffin tin and spoon various colours into each well.  By dropping different colours of batter into the centres of each well, it will spread evenly while baking and give psychedelic or tie-dye effect.
5. Bake in a preheated oven for the suggested temperature and time listed on the box.
6. Allow to cool, ice with a buttercream icing and have fun decorating!
