Rainbow cupcakes

*Don't get discouraged, this is easy!! And oooober fun for kids! Anyone working on learning their colors?

Ingredients:
1 box of white cake mix
2 muffin tins- most cake mixes make 24 cupcakes
cupcake liners
food coloring - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
rainbow chip frosting
APRONS! For both you and kiddo! And maybe a wet paper towel handy. We don't like stains :)

Instructions:
Make cake batter as directed
Separate the batter evenly into cereal bowls, one bowl for each color
Add the food coloring. Don't get discouraged if you do not have purple food coloring... **just combine red and blue :)**  or yellow and red for orange...
Make sure to have a spoon for each color so you don't get brown in your rainbow.
Spoon one color at a time in the cupcake tins. I followed the rainbow pattern ROYGBP
Bake as directed on the box. Allow them to cool and top with rainbow chip frosting.

* Also very cute to just to red white and blue for 4th of July, or red and green for Christmas... etc.

Kid Helper:

• Got a star at breaking eggs yet? They won't learn if you don't teach them. I remember in my high school cooking class kids did not know how to break open/separate and egg... Please don't let that be your child.
• Add the food coloring to the batter in the cereal bowls and stir. Watching anything change color is fun!
• Spoon in the batter
• Frost the baked cupcakes
