A few weeks ago, someone brought a variation of this to a Women's Bible Study event. It was just before our other friend's birthday, and I knew it was the perfect treat for her party... THIS was my first attempt at making "tie dyed" cupcakes.
Up close, they really do look tie dyed. To make them, you simply put one can of Sprite (yes, pop) with any plain (I used white, yellow may also work) cake mix - no egg, no oil, just mix and pop. Stir together well. Then divide up the batter into the number of bowls equal to the number of different colors you want to use. Use food coloring in each bowl to make different colors, then spoon a little of each color into paper baking cups (already in the cupcake pan) Gently swirl the colors together, being careful not to over mix. Then, bake as directed on the box for cupcakes. They come out like this:
The topping and frosting possibilities are endless, but I did sort of a mixed color swirl frosting squeeze. Not the way I would do it again, but it was still delicious.
Up close, peeling off the paper lining.
Here is one tie dye cupcake, cut in half -- you can see it really is like a rainbow and a birthday cake had a baby. Is this the most healthiest? No. However, it is gluten free... and it is SUPER fun!
Next time you have a special event, go ahead and try to make these. How will YOU decorate the tops of your tie dyed cupcakes?
