rainbow cupcakes

the other day, i made some rainbow cupcakes!

i loved the idea, so i decided to give it my best shot.

they actually turned out really good!

it was extremely time consuming to get the colors mixed up, not to mention really messy. {but maybe that's just me...?}

the turn out was pretty cool though.

i wish the colors could've been brighter.

oh well. next time!

i used a recipe from the betty crocker cookbook, just using white cake mix.

so, would i make them again?

yes. i'd just have to make sure i had plenty of time.

-silver white cupcakes-

{leah's revised version}

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 2/3 cups sugar

2/3 cups shortening

1 1/4 cups milk

3 1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 egg whites

heat oven to 350 degrees.

put cupcake papers in your tins.

{it makes about 17 cupcakes}

beat all ingredients except egg whites on low speed, scraping bowl constantly , 30 seconds.

beat in egg whites on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, two minutes.

pour into tins.

{in my case, add color, before putting in the tin. obviously.}

bake until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.

for the color, i divided the batter into 3 bowls i knew we didn't care about & made pink, purple and blue.

bon appétit!
