This morning I saw AMAZING cupcakes posted on The Girl Who Ate Everything's blog. What made these cupcakes amazing? Um, they were brightly colored rainbow cupcakes! And they were gorgeous!
I decided to make a batch. I usually don't bake with food dye. Since it's my birthday, I figured I have an excuse!
I proudly present, Gluten-Free Tie-Dyed Cupcakes!
1 box Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, 15-Ounce Box
or your favorite recipe. (The yellow cake mix from my book would work great in this recipe.) Gel/Paste Food Colors (I used four colors) You don't want to use liquid food colors in this recipe because it would thin out gluten-free cake mix too much.
Icing
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
Prepare batter according to package directions.
Divide batter into four bowls.
Color batter as desired.
Layer batter into prepared muffin pans. (You could swirl batter with a knife.)
Bake as directed.
Place on a wire rack to cool.
Ice with your favorite icing.
Makes 12 (Awesome) Cupcakes
Elizabeth! These make me smile! I love that you put white icing with crystal sprinkles on them! It makes them look like they belong in fairyland!!! Thanks for posting this!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I actually used edible glitter on the cupcake tops. Good eye!
ReplyDeleteThey turned out great, my kids would love those!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how quickly you made these, they turned out great! Know I know what I'll be using my BC yellow cake mix for. (it's been sitting on the cupboard shelf, just waiting)
ReplyDeleteGoing to test them out on my nephews!
Now those are cool!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these. I made them as an alternative to the chocolate cake I made for my cousin's 18th birthday (http://celiacadventure.wordpress.com) just in case there was someone at the party who doesn't like chocolate and the 12 I made were gone in minutes. They were a huge success and now I know to make a lot more next time.

ReplyDeleteI am so glad you made them and enjoyed them!
Have you had any issues with the gel food coloring? I'd be worried they use starch to thicken it
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful! thank you so much! my daughter is finally starting to realize she is different from her brothers and friends :(
ReplyDeleteso i made these for her and did she ever feel special! thanks! :)
I cannot wait to try these! While I am the on who is GF, my kids have embraced the baking and slight changes in some meals ( I still cook some foods for them like KD) I can't wait to try these!
ReplyDeleteWho said Gluten Free was boring?!
ReplyDeleteWe love these. My two kids both have celiac's so we are always looking for fun treats. I am going to make these for my daughter class on Friday. It is tie dye day:) Thanks for sharing!
