Color Swirl Cupcakes

Ok I have to admit, I saw this on pinterest and pinned it...only to find out the link did not lead to how to actually make these. So I decided to make my own and add directions so everyone can use it. It is simple and you can be very creative with this idea.

First you need a white or yellow cake mix. Follow directions on box for making batter.


I filled the cupcakes about half full and added a surprise (chocolate and butterscotch chips). Then simply finish adding batter.


I added one drop of food coloring to each cupcake. One row per color since I had red, green, yellow, and blue.


Take a toothpick and have fun! Be creative!

I added some of the more pronounced colors to the yellow since it was so pale on the yellow cake mix. This is what it looked like before putting them in the oven.


Here is what they look like when they come out.


Remember only the tops are colored, the rest is simply a yellow cupcake. Like I said mine contain a surprise since I made these to take to a Girl Scout meeting for young girls.

From our kitchen to yours, Mary
