Rainbow Bright Cupcakes

For Aria's 6th Birthday she wanted a Wizard of Oz themed birthday party. I was trying to think of what kind of cake I could make. I thought of first to frost cupcakes with all different colors and making a rainbow, but that would take a lot of cupcakes and a lot of work. One day I found the perfect recipe on my blog list from http://picky-palate.com/category/desserts/ and it was perfect. This recipe for cupcakes is awesome! They are so tender and moist and just plain yummy. I definitely will make these cupcakes again.

Batter divided and food coloring added.

Here they are right out of the oven.

They look so cool inside and they were a big hit at the party.

Rainbow Bright Cupcakes

1 box yellow cake mix

4 eggs

1/2 Cup vegetable oil

1/2 Cup water

8 oz sour cream

small box instant vanilla pudding mix

Food Coloring: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Purple

Vanilla or Cream Cheese Frosting of Choice

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, beat the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, sour cream and pudding on medium until well combined. Batter will be nice and thick. Divide batter evenly between 5 white or glass bowls. Drop 5 different colors of food coloring into each cake batter bowl until you reach your desired colors. Stir well. Spoon each color into paper lined cupcake tins until all are filled. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove and let cool completely. Frost with frosting of choice.
