Rainbow Cupcakes

Prepare your favorite white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls or cups.

Add 5-10 drops (the more the better) of food dye to each cup.

Line muffin pan wells with baking cups. Evenly distribute the batter among the cups one color at a time,making the rainbow. As you go, gently spread each layer of batter with the back of a spoon to cover the color underneath.

Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions.

Before serving, remove the paper wrapping, and if you like, top each cupcake with frosting and sprinkles.

Note: can also be made as a cake to save yourself some time!
