Tie-dye cupcakes
Tie dye or multi-color cupcakes are popular, and with good reason — they are fun and fairly simple to make! We created some red, white, and blue cupcakes that are perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, or any patriotic occasion!
Ingredients:
- White cupcake mix, prepared as stated on the box
- Red and blue food coloring
- Small bowls & spoons (for each color)
- Cupcake wrappers
- White icing or frosting
- Red, silver, and blue sprinkles
- Red, white, and blue candy (We used rock candy and Twizzlers cut into pieces and separated)
Optional:
- Piping bags and decorating tips
Directions:
- Line cupcake pans with cupcake wrappers.
- Prepare batter and divide evenly into 3 small bowls.
- Put a few drops of blue food coloring in one bowl of batter and a few drops of red into another bowl of batter and mix well.
- Spoon batter into cupcake liners, equal parts red, white, and blue.
- Bake as directed on box and set aside to cool.
- Once cupcakes are cool, use white icing and sprinkles/candy to decorate them.
