rainbow funfetti cupcakes

If you're looking for a cupcake that will knock the socks off of your friends, you've come to the right place.

These are BEAUTIFUL. Not to mention, absolutely deeeelicious. Who doesn't love funfetti? And the icing... oh the icing. To die for. 

Ingredients:


for cupcakes

• 1 package funfetti cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup oil
• 3 eggs
• food coloring

for icing

• 1 cup butter softened
• 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• up to 4 tablespoons milk 

Directions:

1. Prepare funfetti mix according to directions.
2. Divide batter into 5 plastic cups
3. Add food coloring to each cup until you reach desired color.
4. Spoon batter into cupcake liners one color at a time. Don't spread the different colors with a spoon, it will spread on its own! If you spread it yourself, the colors may blend together... yucky.
5. Bake for about 13-15 minutes. (toothpick test!)

Icing:

1. Beat butter until fluffy.
2. Add powdered sugar gradually. (low speed = low mess!)
3. Add vanilla, salt, and 2 tablespoons milk. Beat.
4. If your icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
5. If it is too thick, add more milk.
