Tie Dye Cupcakes

What You Do:

1. Help your child prepare the cake batter according to directions.
2. Divide the batter evenly between the small bowls, and add a different color to each one. This is a great time to teach kids how to mix colors to get complimentary colors like green (blue + yellow), orange (red + yellow) and purple (blue + red). Mix each colored batter very well.
3. Start spooning the batter into the paper cupcake liners. Go backwards in a rainbow sequence so purple begins at the bottom and red is the last color on top. Try to evenly space the layers without mixing or blending colors. Leave at least ¼” at the top to give room for the batter to expand.
4. Bake the cupcakes according to the directions on the recipe. When they are done allow them to cool completely.
5. Scoop a cloud of marshmallow fluff onto the top of the cupcake.
6. Sprinkle a small amount of colorful mini M&M’s on top of the marshmallow fluff.
7. If you’re making St. Patrick’s cupcakes and want a little luck of the Irish, press a gold coin into the top of the cupcake!
