Sweet Tie-dye Reunion

...and for the record, I have no excuses for being gone so long. One of the reasons I have not posted anything in the last couple weeks is because I kept pondering what to write when I had to explain why I have been out of my blogging element lately. This morning I decided I would say nothing. I will just blog... and I will start with a fun little edible craft. Tie-dye Cupcakes!

I decided to bake these for my "SuperMom". In reality, she probably deserves the most expensive cake you could ever find or buy in this world but I wanted to show a little "labor of love" and bake her something myself. Here is my mom. I hope I look half as good as she does when I get to be her age and I want her beautiful skin, her hands ( which are so perfect to me), and her heart.

So here are the cupcakes I made and here's how YOU can make them too!

You start off with a regular butter cake recipe or use your favorite light colored cake. Follow directions until batter is mixed thoroughly.

Then scoop an even amount of cake batter into 4 different bowls. (Or however many different colors you choose to use.)

Choose what colors you would like to use and drop food coloring in 1 drop at a time until you get the brightness and color you desire.

Drop 1 spoonful at a time, alternate each color, and layer them until the baking cup is 3/4 full.

Each one is different and unique.

Bake at 350 degrees (or whatever your recipe calls for) ice them with your favorite buttercream or cream cheese icing and you will get these little cuties!

Don't ask me why the tie-dye just makes it taste better... but it does.

Now go make some cupcakes and tell me about them!!! Have a great day everyone :)
